HSF has appointed 10 lawyers to the role of executive counsel, across the firm’s corporate, disputes, projects, energy, and infrastructure, finance, employment, industrial relations and safety, and real estate practice groups.
Four of those promoted come from the firm’s Sydney office, three are from Perth, two are from Brisbane, and one is based in Melbourne.
The promotions will take effect on 1 May 2024.
The news follows HSF’s naming of nine new partners in Australia earlier this month, its appointment of an Australian as joint managing partner of its global corporate practice in February, and its promotion of four within its alternative legal services practice in January.
Speaking about the promotions, HSF Asia and Australia executive partner Kristin Stammer said the appointments recognise the high performance of each new counsel in their practice areas and their exceptional client focus.
“I would like to pass on my congratulations to the 10 new executive counsel, each of whom possesses the technical skills, client focus and leadership qualities that we value within our high-performing teams across the firm,” she said.
“The new counsels are known for their expertise, drive, and commitment to excellence. Each of them will play an integral role in ensuring that our clients continue to receive exceptional service from our market-leading teams.”
