Lander & Rogers appoints Wendy Fauvel to workplace relations

Lander & Rogers is pleased to announce the appointment of Wendy Fauvel as a Partner in its Sydney Workplace Relations and Safety (WR&S) team, effective 2 March 2026.

Wendy joins the firm from Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, where she was a partner in the Brisbane office. She is recognised nationally for her expertise in enterprise bargaining and industrial disputes and brings a broad practice spanning all areas of employment law.

Wendy advises employers on enterprise bargaining strategy, industrial action, workplace investigations, complex payroll and governance reviews, and employment litigation. She is a trusted adviser to private and ASX clients, working closely with in-house HR, legal and executive teams to navigate reputationally sensitive matters.

Her experience includes leading responses to high-profile industrial disputes before the Fair Work Commission and the Courts and managing collective and individual employment disputes.

Wendy is recognised for her thought leadership particularly in enterprise bargaining and industrial relations. She has authored and contributed to a range of publications and is a sought-after presenter at HR and industrial relations conferences.

Sally Moten and Will Spargo, Practice Group Leaders of the Workplace Relations and Safety team at Lander & Rogers, said:

“Wendy is a nationally recognised industrial relations practitioner with deep expertise in enterprise bargaining and complex industrial disputes.

As bargaining and industrial activity continue to intensify across Australia, Wendy’s strategic and commercially pragmatic approach will significantly strengthen our national WR&S capability. Working alongside our partners in our Sydney WR&S team, Jeremy Hanrahan, Adam Battagello, Mark Sullivan and Sally, her experience advising major employers across infrastructure, energy and government sectors aligns strongly with our client base and growth strategy.

As we continue to invest in growing our market-leading workplace relations team nationally, Wendy's technical expertise and strong client relationships will further enhance our ability to support employers navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.”

Wendy also commented:

“I am delighted to be joining Lander & Rogers and its highly regarded Workplace Relations and Safety team. The firm’s national platform and strong reputation for pragmatic, client-focused advice provide an excellent opportunity to continue supporting employers through complex bargaining rounds and industrial disputes.”
