Cleveland & Co opens Australian office
External in-house counsel firm Cleveland & Co has opened an office in Sydney in a move the firm said is “just the beginning” for its global expansion.

The new Australian office will be led by CEO Emma Cleveland – as well as a new addition to Cleveland & Co, Asia-Pacific managing director Andrew Goldstein.
In under 10 years, Cleveland & Co has grown to service approximately 200 clients with assets under management in excess of £8.7 trillion and are the first and only law firm exclusively offering an outsourced in-house legal model to financial services firms, according to Ms Cleveland.
“We are thrilled to expand our global outsourced in-house legal team into Asia-Pacific,” she said.
“We can now offer our clients access to a deeper pool of high performing specialists in financial services and investment management across multiple jurisdictions, via a single engagement with us and single monthly cost to the client.”
