Corrs Chambers Westgarth has announced it has promoted a restructuring lawyer to its partnership.
The firm has named Perth-based Michelle Dean as the new partner, effective 1 July.
In addition, Ms Dean advised lenders on the insolvency issues associated with public-private partnerships and documented cross-border restructures involving assets throughout Europe and the US, the firm noted. “Specialising in commercial litigation and insolvency and restructuring, Michelle is widely recognised in the Australian market as a first class litigator,” said CEO and partner of Corrs, John W.H. Denton AO.
“Michelle has spent her career representing large corporate groups in complex matters with lean and focussed teams, delivering client-driven and commercially aware outcomes.
“Michelle’s elevation to partner will enable us to present a truly national restructuring and insolvency team to clients across the breadth of Australia.”
