She also worked in the not-for-profit agribusiness space and was executive officer to the former minister for agriculture, regional development, small business, and hydrogen industry, the Honourable Alannah MacTiernan.
HHG managing director Murray Thornhill said: “We are delighted that Merrill is joining HHG Legal Group. Merrill has extensive personal business experience as well as specific experience as an executive GM in a variety of boutique law firms and other larger organisations.
“She fully understands ‘constant improvement’ and has a strong regional network in addition to her familiarity with law firm operational management.”
Ms MacNish added: “After meeting with Murray and [director] Simon [Creek], the leadership team and associated business professionals, I was convinced HHG was the perfect place to continue my career. The values of the organisation mirror my own.
“Its welcoming culture and emphasis on constant improvement are very appealing. I look forward to helping shape the firm’s future.”
