Cowell Clarke adds 3 new solicitors
Specialist commercial firm Cowell Clarke, which has offices in Adelaide and Sydney, has appointed three new solicitors, all of whom graduated from the firm’s tax academy training program.
Karishma D’Souza and Carlie Frantzis have recently joined Cowell Clarke as newly admitted solicitors, while Amy Lancaster is set to join later this year.
Speaking about the expansion of the firm’s tax and revenue group, Cowell Clarke director and head of tax and revenue Peter Slegers said that the group’s growth reflects the increasing demand for tax law advice.
“I’ve witnessed significant growth in tax law practices since I started in the profession, and there is clearly strong demand in the corporate and commercial marketplace for specialist tax law advice,” he said.
“It is also an area attracting many young, talented individuals who aspire to a challenging but rewarding career as a commercial lawyer.
“I am thrilled that Karishma, Carlie and Amy are joining our team.
“They have clearly demonstrated commitment, energy and application during their time in the tax academy over the prior two to three years.”
The trio will join associate Jackson Jury, senior associates Daniel Marateo and Joshua Pascale and Mr Slegers in the tax and revenue group.
Ms Frantzis said: “Progressing through the tax academy has given me the confidence to hit the ground running.
“It’s good to start as a lawyer with over two years of real-life experience under my belt.”
