Two out of three partners ain’t bad
Allens has appointed two Australian and one Vietnamese lawyer to the firm’s partnership.
Melbourne litigation lawyer Peter Haig (pictured) and Sydney M&A lawyer Kate Towey, along with Linh Bui, who is based in Ho Chi Minh City, have been promoted to partner.
Towey works on major M&A and equity capital markets transactions across a range of sectors, including the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector.
The appointments follow the lateral hire of financial services partner Michelle Levy, who joined Allens in June from King & Wood & Mallesons.
Allens also dropped a partner earlier this year when dispute resolution partner Stephen McComish joined Jones Day to lead the firm’s new Perth office.
