Allens names new PNG partner
A commercial lawyer has been promoted to partner in the Allens Port Moresby office.
A few months after the news that five Allens lawyers from its Papua New Guinea team in Port Moresby had been poached by Corrs Chambers Westgarth, the international firm revealed that local lawyer Sarah Kuman (pictured) has joined the partnership.
The Allens Port Moresby office has operated in the country for over two decades and services a combination of international and PNG clients.
PNG practice director David Hill commended Ms Kuman’s elevation.
“Sarah is a terrific role model and mentor to other graduates and younger lawyers and is a senior leader across the business,” he said.
Allens managing partner Richard Spurio added: “Sarah is an outstanding practitioner who combines her technical expertise with great client relationships and a passion for the progression of women in Papua New Guinea.”
