This round includes the appointment of five new partners, the promotion of 12 lawyers to special counsel, eight to senior associate, and one to associate.

Moray & Agnew national managing partner Geoff Connellan said the latest round of appointments reflects the law firm’s commitment to diversity.
“We are delighted to recognise these lawyers on their well-deserved promotions. We acknowledge commitment and hard work for our clients and their contribution to our firm. Promotions are merit based, regardless of gender. This round of promotions does mean that 47% of our partners are female; more reflective of the society in which we live and work,” he said.
In December, the law firm bolstered its insurance expertise by promoting insurance experts, with two taking on partner roles, and two others taking on senior associate roles.
