Full-service firm Mellor Olsson, which has offices in Adelaide, Clare, and Port Lincoln and also provides services in the Barossa Valley, Eyre Peninsula, Mid North, South East and Yorke Peninsula, has appointed Nikki Owen (pictured) as its newest partner.
Before joining Mellor Olsson, Owen practised as a solicitor in Bath, England, for nearly two decades, before moving to Australia in 2016.
She “excels”, the firm said in a statement, in succession planning and asset protection, serving individuals, business owners, and families, and advises not-for-profits, charities, and their donors on bequests and charitable trusts.
Speaking about the appointment, Mellor Olsson chief executive Paul Anderson said: “We are delighted to welcome Nikki to Mellor Olsson Lawyers.
“Her expertise and leadership will bring immense value to our wills and estates team, enhancing our comprehensive and tailored estate planning services for our diverse client base.”
