McCabe Curwood has expanded its Australian practice with the opening of its new Melbourne office.
Heading the new Melbourne team is Principal Benjamin Karalus, who brings 14 years of insurance law experience to his new role. He is joined by Special Counsel Paul Dalligan, Senior Associates Eugenia Xanthos, Nicole Neufeld, and Shauntelle Lim, and Lawyers Christina Stoikos and Kristy Craig-Smith.
“Melbourne is the first port of call in our plans of a national expansion. It is an important economic centre for our clients, and we are pleased to be able to offer a permanent on-the-ground solution for Victoria,” said Andrew Lacey, managing principal of McCabe Curwood. “We are growing across all areas of business – insurance and commercial but want to make sure we are building for the right reasons and with the right people. It needs to be a good cultural fit and make business sense.”
“The team is made up of passionate, skilled and driven lawyers who have chosen insurance as their area of expertise,” Karalus said. “That expertise spans the entire insurance spectrum. We are focused on providing innovative solutions to the problems facing insurers in the Australian market.”
