Additionally, Lawyer Sarah Hagos has joined the Casualty Practice Group, with new Principal Kim Waygood, who was appointed in 2024.

On his appointment, Jamie said “I am delighted to be joining the McCabes’ team”.

“McCabes strong investment in their people and infrastructure has always impressed me, and I look forward to continuing to grow and learn from their innovative and professional approach to providing legal services”.

Managing Principal Andrew Lacey reinforced the firm’s commitment to national growth.

“A priority for the firm has always been the growth of our national footprint, and strategic additions of forward-thinking experts in Brisbane will provide a wider range of services to our clients in Queensland,” said Andrew Lacey, Managing Principal at McCabes.
