Ms Davidson joins as a non-executive director. She currently serves as the group general counsel and external relations director for beverages company Lion, and brings with her more than 20 years of experience across competition law, mergers and acquisitions, board governance, intellectual property, regulation and policy, communications and sustainability.
Ms Feletti, a partner, has been with the firm since 2016 and works as a safety and disputes practitioner with public and private sector clients on safe workplaces, systems and cultures.
Speaking about the appointments, Mr Salem – who is also the firm’s managing partner – said he is “delighted” to welcome the pair to the board.
“I look forward to working closely with them as we pursue our 2023 strategy toward the next phase of the firm’s growth,” he said.
“Libby and Maxine each bring distinct and complementary skills and expertise to the Board, and I have no doubt their experience, enthusiasm and commitment to the firm will prove invaluable.”
The news follows the firm’s promotion of 27 lawyers in July of this year, including eight to special counsel and 19 to senior associate.
