Elizabeth leads with a focus on service and innovation and continuously empowers her team to deliver strategic legal solutions tailored to the needs of Commonwealth clients. Under her leadership, the Canberra office has experienced significant growth with the addition of two new partners and their teams, the firm’s appointment to all five areas of law on the Whole of Australian Government Legal Services Panel, and most recently, a corporate partnership with the Institute of Public Administration Australia (IPAA) ACT.

Jessica is a Partner in the firm's Dispute Resolution & Litigation team, specialising in contractual disputes, regulatory investigations, white-collar crime and fraud. She joined Holding Redlich in 2020 as a senior associate and now leads a team of close to 20 lawyers.

Jessica is deeply committed to supporting emerging lawyers, particularly women, by giving them visibility, confidence and opportunities for growth. She sees mentoring as a way to help shape a more inclusive, sustainable, and equitable society where women are supported to remain in law, progress to leadership, and in turn, support others.
