The six partners (all pictured) include four corporate lawyers – Ricky Casali, Glen Sauer, Chris Allen and Andrew Hewson – and two banking and finance lawyers – Stewart Robertson and John Mosley.

Mr Hewson was a senior associate at Minters and has been elevated to partner by Corrs, while the other five were partners at that firm.

Between them, the six lawyers served 73 years at MinterEllison, and bring even more years of experience to their new firm.
