Most recently, the director of clients at HPX Group, Felicity Lyall, has been appointed as the head of secondments NSW at Aspen Legal.

Lyall brings more than 15 years of legal industry experience to the newly created role, with extensive strategic growth and client development experience within legal services. She has previously held business development roles at The Fold Legal and Law In Order.

Commenting on the appointment, Aspen Legal co-founder and director Nat Parbhu said the addition would continue to drive growth opportunities for the firm in Sydney and NSW.

“Felicity brings a wealth of experience in growth and business development to the Aspen legal business, and we’re delighted to welcome her to the team at this pivotal point in Aspen Legal’s growth trajectory. Aspen has experienced rapid growth within the Sydney legal secondments market, and we’re excited to be able to better connect our Sydney-based in-house clients with top legal talent,” he said.

“In addition to this newly created role, we have also recently relocated Alys White, our head of talent acquisition, to Sydney. This reflects both the importance of Sydney to our growth agenda, as well as the current state of the secondments market there, which is the most active I can recall in nearly 10 years of running legal secondment businesses in Australia.”

Aspen Legal has clients ranging from ASX 200 and multinational corporations to higher education institutions and start-ups, and it features an advisory “law firm” style business providing legal advice in an in-house manner.

“Corporates have become increasingly sophisticated in how they resource their individual legal service requirements rather than reverting to an outdated panel law firm model in the hope that one size fits all,” Parbhu said.

“Specialist legal secondment providers such as Aspen Legal are no longer regarded as alternative legal services providers but more as the providers of bespoke resourcing solutions.”
