Mallesons’ recent appointment of 13 new Senior Associates, including four in its Dispute Resolution practice, is consistent with the trend of the last 18 months.

The number of SA appointments in DR have been the highest and second highest out of any practice in the previous two round of appointments.

The growth in the Dispute Resolution practice is in keeping with the current global economic climate which has lead to a redistribution of work across different practices.

The appointments in four out of five of Mallesons’ Australian centres is also a reflection of the firm’s continued strong presence nationally.

Brisbane

Hong Kong

• Emma Harrison, Competition
• Andrew Maynes, Banking & Finance
