National plaintiff firm Maurice Blackburn has appointed a new non-executive director for the firm’s board.
Sunita Gloster (pictured) is set to join the board of Maurice Blackburn Lawyers as a non-executive director, bringing almost 30 years of experience in professional services across media and marketing, including roles held internationally as well as in Australia.
Ms Gloster’s appointment continues Maurice Blackburn’s commitment to maintaining 50 per cent gender diversity in its board appointments, the firm noted.
The firm’s board is chaired by former Victorian premier Steve Bracks and includes firm principals Michelle James, Rebecca Gilsenan, Martin Hyde, Kim Shaw and Giri Sivaraman, as well as non-executive director Peter Day. Its CEO is Jacob Varghese.
Speaking about her appointment, Ms Gloster said that she is looking forward to contributing to the continued direction of Maurice Blackburn.
“It is an absolute honour to join the board of Australia’s leading plaintiff law firm,” she said.
“It’s important to me that Maurice Blackburn has a proud and long history of championing the rights of everyday Australians to fairness, justice and equity, not just to those that can afford it. I look forward to supporting the growth of such a purpose-led business.”
Mr Bracks added: “Sunita brings to the board a strong background in business and in senior executive roles. Especially important to Maurice Blackburn is Sunita’s depth of experience in brand management and delivering a client-focussed culture.
“Maurice Blackburn is a household name and a leading brand within the professional services and legal space, synonymous with fighting for our clients and their right to access the legal system. Our clients – who are everyday Australian workers, consumers and investors – are proudly at the centre of everything that we do.
“Sunita has a long history of being committed to the same values as Maurice Blackburn and she shares our vision of a fairer Australia. We are very much looking forward to working with Sunita in her new role as a non-executive director at Maurice Blackburn.”
