Mills Oakley chief executive John Nerurker congratulated both men on their appointments, saying the elevation of the two was reflective of the firm’s strategy in Western Australia.
“It has been three years since we launched our Perth WRES practice and Daniel has been instrumental in developing the team into a respected, Legal 500-recommended practice,” he said.
“We have also been very clear in our strategy to use our corporate practice as a source of growth and referral to other parts of the firm and Andrew has been a key part of that story in Perth.”
The firm is “delighted” to see Mr White and Mr Crean rewarded for their hard work, Mr Nerurker said.
