HopgoodGanim has made senior promotions across its special counsel, senior associate and associate positions with one promoted to partner, effective as of 1 October 2020.
“Whilst it has been a uniquely challenging year, it is welcoming to share positive news about the progression of our team members and the firm. These promotions display our ongoing commitment to the professional development of all team members,” Mr Humphrys said.
“All 16 lawyers have displayed resilience, are solution-focused practitioners and they build long-lasting relationships with colleagues and clients – attributes which are deserving of this recognition.
“I thank them for their commitment and contribution to HopgoodGanim and congratulate them on their achievement.”
Ivan Orola who is based in HopgoodGanim’s Brisbane office is promoted to partner.
Mr Orola is a career property lawyer with a practice focused on retirement living, commercial and retail property. Prior to joining HopgoodGanim in 2018, Mr Orola held a senior in-house role with QIC. He is also an active member of Urban Development Institute of Australia, Property Council of Australia and Committee for Brisbane.
Mr Orola’s appointment brings the firm’s partnership count to 42 from 1 October 2020.
The firms’ special counsel promotions are Kathleen Coggins and Dean Foley, both in their family and relationship law team.
In addition to Ms Coggins and Mr Foley, four more of the firm’s family and relationship law team have been promoted in this round.
