The Speaker:

Christopher Todd - Bowman Gilfillan

I have practised in all areas of employment law from my admission as an attorney in 1996 and have specialised in employment in the public law sphere. I advise extensively on the employment law implications of business transfers in the public and private sectors, privatisation initiatives and outsourcing.

After a two-year stint in mergers and acquisitions, I returned to a dispute resolution practice, providing advisory and litigation services in employment, public law and alternative dispute resolution. 

My dispute resolution career includes roles as adjudicator, having served two periods as an acting judge of the Labour Court, and on private tribunals in employment disputes. I was accredited by CEDR as a commercial mediator in April 2007, and my mediation experience includes representing parties in mediations and serving as mediator in commercial disputes.
