HWL Ebsworth has cemented its new leadership and governance structure with its new board of partners.

“I very much look forward to working with the new board of partners, Kris, and Russell with a view to continuing the success and growth of the firm, noting that we will preserve the strengths in its management and operations”, Restas said.
