Queensland law firm Cooper Grace Ward Lawyers has added two new members to its Brisbane team.

Tarnya Fitzgibbon joins the CGW property, planning and environment group as a specialist planning and environment partner. She joins from McCullough Robertson where she was a senior associate. Fitzgibbon has experience in the property, resources, agribusiness, infrastructure and public sectors, and has defended directors and companies involved in environmental offences disputes.

In addition to her legal qualifications, Fitzgibbon has a Bachelor of Science in environmental science and recently completed her masters in urban and regional planning.

As part of CGW’s strategic growth strategy the firm has also appointed a marketing director, Linda O’Sullivan, who joins from national business advisory group Rowland Brisbane.

CGW merged with Bain Gasteen Lawyers almost a year ago to create a firm of more than 200 people, including 23 partners.
