The move comes as DWF looks to expand both its Australian presence and headcount, and its banking and finance team.
“As a result of Elpis and her team joining us, we are now able to offer our global financial service sector clients a truly integrated, national banking and finance practice to better serve them in the rapidly changing world of business,” said Mark Hickey, chairman of DWF Asia Pacific.
“This is our next step towards achieving our strategy of delivering complex, managed and connected services on a truly global scale.”
Ben Burney, head of banking and financial services, Asia Pacific, offered a similar sentiment.
“This doubles our banking and financial services capability on the east coast of Australia, as well as our capacity to grow and develop a number of key institutional relationships,” he said.
Ms Korosidis said she and the team are thrilled to join DWF “as it provides the opportunity for us to take the next step in our journey”.
“We have lots of synergies in terms of our ways of working and how we deliver legal services through innovation and our people,” Ms Korosidis added.
“Our values and culture, as well as our strongly aligned financial service sector work, provide a platform for our future success.”
