The firm has promoted Melbourne-based Kristen Smith and Sydney-based Ewen McNee to senior investment managers.

Meanwhile, Niall Watson-Dunne, also based in Sydney, has been promoted to investment manager (Sydney).

“Congratulations to [our] colleagues on [their] well-deserved promotions,” said Oliver Gayner, managing director and co-chief investment officer (APAC).

“It is the talent and hard work of our people that results in Omni Bridgeway being consistently recognised as the leading legal finance team.” 

Elsewhere, Omni Bridgeway has welcomed Eloise Matsui as an investment manager. Ms Matsui is based in Hong Kong and joins from Stephenson Harwood and King & Wood Mallesons before that. She brings a wealth of expertise in restructuring, insolvency and cross-border litigation and has acted for foreign, listed and private companies, creditors and insolvency practitioners across the breadth of restructuring, insolvency, enforcement and associated litigation scenarios, a statement from Omni Bridgeway explained.

Further, Mitch Dearness, formerly of Herbert Smith Freehills, has also been appointed an investment manager. Mr Dearness joins Omni Bridgeway with a background in arbitration and cross-border litigation, with particular experience in the infrastructure, mining and energy sectors. 

“Our expansion is in direct response to the market’s flourishing demand for our financial solutions and reflects our ability to attract leading talent,” said Tom Glasgow, managing director and co-chief investment officer (APAC), portfolio manager – global international arbitration.

We are thrilled to welcome Eloise and Mitch to our wonderful team and further expand our services to clients.”
