New Wotton + Kearney partner Sarah Metcalfe joins the firm’s Melbourne office and was most recently a special counsel at Clyde & Co.
“I am delighted to join Wotton + Kearney, a firm that is recognised for its excellence and innovation in insurance and risk law and its people-focused culture,” she said.
“I look forward to working with our firm’s talented team of lawyers and contributing to the firm’s growth and success.”
Wotton + Kearney head of financial lines Andrew Moore said the appointment is a reflection of the firm’s growing team and demand for experience in the building and construction sector.
“We are very pleased to welcome Sarah to our firm. She brings a wealth of expertise and experience in the building and construction sector, which is an area of increasing demand and complexity for our clients,” he said.
“Sarah has a strong track record of providing high-quality and specialised advice and representation to our insurer and insured clients across Asia-Pacific.”
This news comes after the firm opened its Singapore office last month, after starting as a boutique firm of six lawyers and now consists of 86 partners and over 450 lawyers across offices in 10 locations.
