Corporate, energy and resources partner Andrew Corletto joined Minters’ Adelaide office today (14 July), the same day HWL officially took over Kelly & Co.
Corletto had been a partner at Kelly & Co for more than 14 years. He is also a former company secretary and corporate counsel with the Normandy Mining group.
Corletto is the second Kelly & Co partner to jump ship this past month. Banking & finance head Martin Lovell left the firm on 26 June to join SA firm Laity Morrow.
Earlier this month, HWL nabbed a special counsel from Minters in Perth.
Update: The HWL Ebsworth Adelaide office was officially launched today (14 July), rather than the originally intended 1 July 2014.
