International law firm DWF has welcomed a three-person team from MacPherson Kelley.
In a continuation of the lateral hiring spree that has, according to the firm, contributed to one of the fastest growing practices in Australia, Alex Ninis joins DWF’s Melbourne office as a principal lawyer, accompanied by senior associate Marcus Hannah and solicitor Serpil Bilgic.
“We welcome Alex, Marcus and Serpil and look forward to their success in growing DWF’s IT, privacy, data security, telco and IP practice”.
Mr Ninis’ legal career spans more than 30 years. He has worked in-house for Lend Lease Corporation, Burns Philp & Co Ltd and PeopleSoft, and has been a partner of Truman Hoyle (now Bird & Bird) and Blue Rock Law, which was acquired by Macpherson Kelley in 2014.
Mr Ninis has acted for global and local information technology suppliers, and acquirers of information technology and telecommunications products and services, in the Asia-Pacific region.
Mr Hannah is a commercial and technology lawyer with expertise in drafting and negotiating technology agreements, privacy law, data security, e-signature legality and intellectual property licensing.
Ms Bilgic is a commercial and IT solicitor with experience advising IT companies regarding privacy laws and in the drafting and negotiation of agreements for the information technology sector.
The DWF office in Melbourne has seen significant expansion since its launch in 2019, most recently with the senior appointments of principal lawyers, Richard Skopal and Andrea Towson.
DWF’s Australian practice now employs approximately 200 people.
