Middletons hires Herbert Geer partner in Sydney
Law firm Middletons has announced the hire of a former Herbert Geer partner, who joins its banking and finance group in Sydney.
Alex Roth spent 10 years advising large banking and finance clients including Westpac, St.George, Credit-Suisse, ANZ, Suncorp, Centuria, Capital One, Wingate and Partnership Finance Group.
Middletons managing partner Nick Nichola said the new recruit's hands on experience will be valuable when undertaking legal work for the firm's banking and finance clients.
Roth says the firm's reputation in banking and finance attracted him to Middletons.
"This, combined with the firm's down-to-earth approach and passion for the practice of law, ultimately won me over."
The hire follows the appointment of Richard Winter in July, formerly an in-house counsel at Westpac.
