She succeeds Andrew Rentoul in the leadership role
Competition partner Katrina Groshinski has taken the helm as MinterEllison’s new chair.
She succeeds Andrew Rentoul. Groshinski has been with the firm since 2010.
“Katrina is a visionary leader whose deep industry knowledge and commitment to excellence will ensure MinterEllison continues to thrive at the forefront of the Australian legal and consulting market”, Rentoul said.
Groshinski has focused on complex competition and regulatory matters for over 20 years. She has tackled contested merger clearances, ACCC investigations, market authorisations and compliance with changing consumer protection frameworks.
Her clients operate in the private sector as well as in government. She represented the state of NSW after the ACCC accused the state and NSW Ports of entering into anti-competitive agreements in relation to the long-term lease of Port Botany and Port Kembla; she also advised the NSW Treasury on the $5.07bn long-term lease of Port Botany and Port Kembla as well as on the $1.75bn long-term lease of Port Newcastle.
Groshinski assisted TPG Telecom in securing merger clearance for its $1.4bn scheme of arrangement acquisition of iiNet Limited. She also helped Linfox Armaguard to obtain merger authorisation from the ACCC for the combination of its cash distribution business with that of competitor Prosegur.
MinterEllison confirmed that Groshinski was continuing her practice while leading the firm. She stepped into the chair role on 31 December 2025.
Groshinski said that as chair, she was prioritising client relationships, AI adoption and innovation, and boosting the firm’s offerings in high-growth areas.
