Mallesons’ main man steps down
The Australia managing partner of King & Wood Mallesons, Tony O’Malley, has stepped down.
In a short statement, KWM said that O’Malley (pictured) had agreed to step down from the managing partner role, effective immediately, and that he will retire from the partnership at the end of the year.
In that statement, Fuller said that a sub-committee had been formed to appoint a new Australian managing partner and that O’Malley would assist with a smooth transition.
“The board has started the process of appointing a new managing partner Australia and expects to make an announcement within the next two to three weeks,” he said.
KWM declined Lawyers Weekly’s request for an interview with Tony O’Malley.
