Both were previously partners at global firms – Ms Stella at DLA Piper and Mr Lennox at K&L Gates.
Ms Stella acts for domestic and international clients in documenting financial transactions, ranging from finance for aged care facilities and commercial buildings to wind farms, according to a statement from Mills Oakley.
Mr Lennox specialises in structured finance in asset classes, including real estate, debt, transport and infrastructure. Mills Oakley said his work frequently involves cross-border structuring issues.
John Nerurker, CEO of Mills Oakley, said the new partner hires were in line with the firm’s strategy of building its end-to-end transactional capability.
“Financing is an integral part of any transaction and Monique has already assisted our property team with the refinancing of a Melbourne CBD property and Tom has assisted our corporate team with a refinancing matter concerning a Sydney client,” Mr Nerurker said.
“These hires represent a strong strategic fit and we are delighted to welcome Tom and Monique to our firm.”
