In Australia, DWF operates one of the most highly regarded occupational health and safety (OHS) practice in the country. Our lawyers provide clients with both front-end compliance and back end defence advice in relation to OHS. The strength of our practice is a combination of three key factors: legal expertise, practical workplace experience and effective risk management.
