Firstly, the firm has welcomed Andrew Ham as the newest principal of its Melbourne office.
As per a statement from the firm, Mr Ham holds “extensive experience in financial services regulation” and “is an expert in the commercial and regulatory issues arising in the financial services industry”.

“Andrew’s experience in the financial sector expands the depth of our banking and finance practice, allowing us to provide our clients with a broader array of services in this sector.”
Mr Ham’s new role will see him work alongside fellow Hunt & Hunt Melbourne principal Richard Williams.
“Andrew’s expanding interest in rapidly evolving financial products such as cryptocurrency, financial technology products, and digital payment services adds another dimension to our renowned experience in financial services regulation under Richard,” Mr Raunic said.
Commenting on his new role, Mr Ham said: “I look forward to working closely with Richard and Hunt & Hunt’s client base, continuing to support them by providing solutions to their legal and compliance challenges in the rapidly changing finance space, and helping them to grow and meet their strategic goals.”
