For the past eight years, Brad Swebeck has been busy running his very own Sydney employment law firm called Swebeck Legal. He has recently joined Hicksons Lawyers as a workplace relations partner in response to client demand for a "greater service offering". 

Swebeck was attracted to Hicksons' expertise in workers compensation OH&S and corporate legal advice. "I spoke with a friend of mine who's the director of a headhunting firm, and he knew that Hicksons was looking for someone with my skill set. So I met with Hicksons' managing partner John Markos and soon realised this firm was a young experienced partnership that held people together for a long time," he said.

He has previously advised Fiserv on industrial relations and labour issues, following its successful bid for outsourced cheque processing for Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank and Westpac.
