Background

About Craig Whittingham

As a lawyer at Kingston Reid, I provide legal advice and representation to clients on a range of employment and industrial relations issues. After being admitted to the Supreme Court of Victoria in December 2023, I began working as a lawyer at the firm in March 2024. Before my admission, I worked as a paralegal for eight months, where I assisted senior lawyers with research, drafting, and filing documents. Before that, I volunteered as a telephone information service operator at JobWatch, a community legal centre that offers free and confidential advice to workers. I have a Juris Doctor from the University of Melbourne, a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from Leo Cussen Centre for Law, and a Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping from RMIT University. I also have a Bachelor of International Relations with a Diploma of Language in French from La Trobe University, and a Diploma of French and European Studies from Sciences Po Lyon. I have developed strong skills in legal research, legal writing, and critical thinking, as well as a passion for social justice and human rights. My goal is to use my knowledge and experience to help workers and employers alike to know, navigate and protect their rights and interests, and to contribute to the development of fair, equitable and prosperous employment laws and practices.
