Tim Edwards is also an accredited specialist in commercial litigation
HopgoodGanim Lawyers has tapped special counsel Tim Edwards to head up its digital assets practice in an appointment that is part of the firm’s strategy to consolidate the practice.
“While we have been advising market participants for several years, a recent surge in high-profile instructions, the significant growth of some of our initial ‘flagship’ clients, and the gradual increase in regulatory certainty have encouraged us to consolidate our offering to clients and present a specialist digital assets team to the market,” Edwards said.
He first joined the firm in 2013 and is currently part of its dispute resolution and insolvency practices. He is an accredited specialist in commercial litigation with significant experience in all types of litigation and dispute resolution matters.

The digital assets practice comprises senior practitioners from across HopgoodGanim’s Brisbane and Perth offices.
