“Their expertise in insurance and motor vehicle matters will complement our existing practices and strengthen service offerings to our clients.
“Colin and Leanne share a similar culture and philosophy to our own and we look forward to welcoming them to the team.”
Echoing this sentiment, Mr O'Sullivan described his excitement for the opportunities the combination presents.
“We look forward to adding our practice to Panetta McGrath’s highly regarded offering to the WA community,” he said.
“Panetta McGrath’s culture and approach to legal practice closely aligns with our own and our team is excited by the opportunities the merger presents.”
