Restructuring and special situations partner Ross McClymont has been announced as president of the organisation.
Mr McClymont’s new role sees him become the first lawyer to hold this position in the organisation’s history.

“As president we are confident that he will continue to provide strong leadership to ARITA and the profession, and I look forward to working with him in meeting the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”
