Harold is listed in Best Lawyers International for the area of Occupational Health and Safety Law and for Employment Law. In 2016 he was named as one of 4 ‘Leading Individuals” in Australia, being the highest ranking by Legal 500 for work health and safety in its first review for this category. Legal 500 said that clients described me as ‘calm and level-headed in a crisis’ as well as ‘courageous, intelligent and focused on excellence’; and clients ‘have his number on speed-dial’.
