These achievements are a true reflection of Lander & Rogers' strength in our highly competitive and continually changing legal market. We are committed to not standing still, to continuing to build a thriving and vibrant business, and to creating the best outcomes for our people and our clients," Mr Willder said.
"These senior appointments continue to build on our offering in our core sectors of focus — financial services, insurance, government, real estate, and retail and supply chain — as well as the continued growth and success of our commercial and family law practices nationally. These future leaders will also play an integral role in cultivating our rich innovation agenda, which builds on our existing client-centric culture.
"Our promotions are an integral part of the ongoing growth of our firm and investment in our people. Many of our senior appointments started their legal careers at Lander & Rogers and I have seen them grow into outstanding lawyers. These promotions reflect our priority to empower our people to become outstanding specialists, and I am very proud that we are able to promote people of such exceptional talent."
