Moray & Agnew moves Melbourne office to 333 Collins Street

Moray & Agnew has relocated its Melbourne office to a building at 333 Collins Street, Melbourne, as of 23 May 2025, according to a media release from the national law firm. 

“We will have a temporary home on level 8 of the new building ahead of our permanent home on level 16,” said Bill Papastergiadis, Melbourne managing partner, in the media release. 

Moray & Agnew dubbed the building where its new office is situated as iconic and historic. In the media release, Papastergiadis described the team’s new location as blending “historical elegance with cutting-edge business amenities.” 

Papastergiadis added that the new office in Melbourne “offers great facilities for our people and our clients and boasts a 4 Star NABERS Energy rating in line with our environmental sustainability initiatives.” 

The firm shared that its move seeks to accommodate its growth trajectory across numerous strategic legal areas and meet rising client demand. The firm explained that its Melbourne team, which includes more than 220 members, has outgrown its previous location. 

“As Moray & Agnew continues to grow at rapid pace, our new premises and the fit out design will play a significant role in the cultural development of staff by shaping daily experiences, influencing collaboration and reinforcing our organisational behaviours,” Papastergiadis said in the firm’s media release

“At the same time, our new premises signal continued relevance to our clients by investing in our future and providing an enhanced client experience,” added Papastergiadis, who received the Order of Australia Medal for service to the Greek community in 2019. 


Recently added partner

Last month, Moray & Agnew welcomed Sotheary Bryant as a new partner in its Melbourne practice. The firm’s media release provided more information on the lawyer’s professional background and experience. 

Bryant has acted for organisations of various sizes and industries in connection with a broad array of corporate and commercial matters. Her work in the automotive industry includes assisting clients from auto organisations and dealer councils and helping auto dealers improve their relationships with distributors. She also has experience navigating complex regulatory environments. 

“Working in a full-service firm alongside lawyers who enjoy supporting clients to succeed as much as I do is exciting and offers the ideal environment to better service businesses and enhance my profile in automotive as a trusted adviser,” Bryant said in the media release. 

“Sotheary brings a high level of enthusiasm and energy to our firm that will assist in pushing our Corporate & Commercial practice to the next level,” Papastergiadis added. “Her extensive experience and proven track record in corporate and commercial law, particularly in the automotive sector, will be invaluable in enhancing the legal services we provide to our clients.” 

“I look forward to contributing to the firm’s commitment to providing innovative, strategic solutions to our clients,” Bryant said in the firm’s media release

Bryant joined Phillip Grundy and John Wei, Melbourne-based partners, in Moray & Agnew’s Victorian corporate and commercial practice. Grundy heads the firm’s corporate and commercial practice. 

“Sotheary is a dynamic Corporate & Commercial lawyer who has established a strong profile in the automotive industry,” Grundy said in the media release. “Her capabilities with franchising and the Australian Consumer Law will be invaluable to clients and provide excellent opportunity to continue the growth of the Corporate & Commercial practice.”
