He will join Holding Redlich’s national workplace relations and safety group and work alongside partners Elizabeth Carroll and Paul Menzies-McVey. Klein is the third partner to join the firm’s Canberra office since its opening in October 2021.

A renowned workplace relations lawyer, Klein has extensive expertise in unfair dismissal, adverse action, discrimination and bullying, workers compensation claims and employee entitlement disputes.
