Thomsons has expanded its Perth banking and finance team with the appointment of a partner.
Jessica Jenke has been appointed as partner in Thomsons’ banking and finance team in Perth, ultimately bolstering the firm’s capability to assist clients across project, acquisition and corporate financing transactions.
Jenke joins the team at Thomsons following a three-year tenure at Norton Rose Fulbright, where she was special counsel, prior to being a senior associate.
Branding from Thomson Geer to Thomsons, as part of a major rebrand in May, the firm also elevated two partners in June, along with 70 other promotions.
Jenke brings comprehensive legal experience across finance and banking, after having spent approximately a decade at ANZ in commercial banking.
She has advised banks, government agencies, private equity funds, project sponsors and corporate borrowers on domestic and cross-border transactions across the property, resources, infrastructure and energy sectors.
Speaking on the appointment of Jenke, Thomsons’ chief executive partner, Adrian Tembel, recognised the importance of strengthening the finance and banking team in Perth.
“With our Perth corporate team seeing strong activity levels, clients are seeking financing capability support,” Tembel said.
“Working alongside Perth-based Banking and Finance Partner Nicholas Creed, Jessica will provide that support.”
