MinterEllison Gold Coast has confirmed it has hired Paul Muscat and Craig Tanzer as a partner and senior associate, respectively. The pair join the Minters office from Gadens Brisbane. Prior to this, Mr Muscat and Mr Tanzer worked together at Colin Biggers & Paisley.
The new construction, infrastructure and procurement team will work closely with MinterEllison Gold Coast’s environment and planning team, property team and dispute resolution team, in an effort to provide collaborative solutions for clients.
Mr Muscat brings more than 25 years’ experience to the new role, having advised government departments, developers, principals and contractors on major infrastructure, construction and engineering projects across a broad range of sectors and contracting models, according to a statement from the firm.
Meanwhile, Mr Tanzer brings 10 years’ experience to his new role, having advised on numerous construction law matters, including multimillion-dollar disputes in the Queensland Courts of Appeal (QCA).
Commenting on the decision to join Minters, Mr Muscat praised the MinterEllison Gold Coast’s culture as a major drawcard.
“The infrastructure of the firm offers plenty of flexibility and allows you to have a healthy work/life balance, which is not just supported but encouraged,” Mr Muscat said.
“MinterEllison Gold Coast make it possible to be a lawyer at a top-tier national firm and enjoy what you are doing, without comprising on other areas in your life.”
Mr Tanzer offered a similar sentiment, noting: “The assistance you get in your day-to-day work life, together with the extensive resources the firm has, provides invaluable support and allows us to get our job done efficiently while still maintaining a healthy work/life balance.”
