KWM said that the new partners “bring a variety of private practice, in-house, and commercial experience from multiple jurisdictions”.

The partners will officially step into their new roles on 1 July.

“Our nine new partners have demonstrated strong leadership qualities and I look forward to seeing them play an active role in progressing the firm’s strategy; reinforcing our culture and deepening their relationships with our clients”, CEP Australia Renae Lattey said.
