The firm’s midyear promotions round includes two new partners and three special counsel.
Ms Chhen joined Piper Alderman in June 2018 and since then has specialised in commercial property matters and agribusiness. As per a statement provided by the firm, she acts for a broad range of clients in the public and private sectors, including investment funds managers, overseas investors, major corporations, private client groups, property developers, landlords and tenants.
Meanwhile, Mr Dodd kicked off his career with Piper Alderman in 2006. Throughout his career he has advised liquor and hospitality industry clients in business acquisitions and disposals, leasing, and liquor and gaming licensing matters. Further, Mr Dodd has leveraged his expertise in compliance and
works with substantial retailers on a range of contractual and property issues, Piper Alderman said.
“We are delighted to welcome Carlyna and Jonathan to the partnership, taking our national partner numbers to 85,” said Piper Alderman managing partner Tony Britten-Jones.
“Their promotions, along with our new special counsel, senior associates and associates, are testament to our firm’s mantra of ‘attract, train and retain’, creating an environment where individuals can flourish but are supported.”
Taking to the special counsel role from 1 July will be Eilish Gigney (intellectual property, Adelaide); Samantha Gou (real estate, Sydney); and Caterina Meduri (dispute resolution and litigation, Sydney).

“We will continue to focus on moderate growth in 2021 and support all of our new partners successfully settling into the firm.”
