New partner Emily Jennings will be based in Moulis Legal’s Brisbane office. She specialises in dispute resolution and international trade and has built her career in commercial litigation, with a focus on the interaction of administrative law, business competition and international trade.
“As the youngest female partner of Moulis, and lead partner of the firm’s Brisbane office, Ms Jennings’ appointment comes at an energising time of firm growth,” the firm said in a statement.
The promotion “aligns with the firm’s policy of controlled growth and expansion from within its own ranks.”
Moulis partner director Daniel Moulis commented: “Even as a young lawyer, Emily has been an inspirational leader of our team from the moment she walked through the front door of Moulis Legal. Her outstanding expertise makes her a clever legal defender for our clients.
“Emily has really unique insights into the concerns and interests that drive business and of the regulatory environment that at times restrains and at other times activates competition. She knows all about commercial and regulatory litigation, and the strategies required to get to ‘yes’.
“Ms Jennings’ clients appreciate her ability to understand and deliver on their goals, she strategically analyses the direction of a matter and the likely behaviours of other parties,” he said. “She constantly assesses prospects, opportunities and directions, so that clients can make cost-effective and ultimately successful decisions about the running of their disputes.
“Emily is the lawyer you want to have on your side to resolve the kinds of problems encountered by business in today’s disrupted markets. Her progression to partnership is testament to what can be achieved with application, ambition, and grace.”
Ms Jennings said her appointment was a rewarding acknowledgement and natural extension of the skills she has developed through her career.
“I’m thrilled to be part of the next phase of Moulis Legal’s growth and evolution, as the firm continues to provide tailored, commercial solutions to our domestic and international clients,” she said.
“It’s a privilege to be part of an organisation that recognises the value of its people alongside the importance of delivering excellence in service to our clients.”
