James Kirkham
Catch.com.au
Legal Counsel
Description
James is the Legal Counsel at Catch Group, which operates Catch.com.au, one of Australia’s largest online marketplace platforms. Having joined Catch Group’s legal team in 2012, James oversaw the Group’s compliance activities before also taking the roles of Company Secretary and General Counsel. James built the Catch Group’s Product Safety and Compliance function from the ground up, which encompassed multiple websites in the Group’s portfolio including Catch.com.au, Mumgo.com.au, Scoopon.com.au, GroceryRun.com.au, EatNow.com.au and VinoMofo.com.au. Initially solely a retailer in its own right, Catch.com.au launched its marketplace in 2017 and in 2019 it was acquired by Australian conglomerate Wesfarmers Limited, where James still oversees legal and compliance for the Catch Group now as part of the broader Kmart retail group.
