G+T has bolstered its corporate advisory practice in Sydney with the addition of new partner Phil Turner, a superannuation lawyer with over two decades of experience assisting trustees of super funds on a full range of legal issues.

 
 

Mr Turner’s experience spans across investment work for super trustees, M&A transactions, successor fund transfers, superannuation litigation and financial services regulation. Prior to joining G+T, Phil was a special counsel at MinterEllison and has also practised at Clayton Utz and Corrs Chambers Westgarth. He has also spent time on secondment to major superannuation trustees.

Co-heads of corporate advisory Costas Condoleon and Neil Pathak said that Mr Turner would bring valuable skills to the team.

“The prevalence and influence of superannuation funds on the Australian M&A landscape continues to grow, as we have seen first-hand on many deals,” they said.

“Phil’s experience and superannuation specialisation will allow us to deliver a more comprehensive offering to this significant and important sector and to the large super funds who are central to a lot of transactional activity. We are delighted to have Phil join us and to enhance our team in this way.”

Commenting on his appointment, Mr Turner said: “Clients trust G+T to handle some of the most complex transactions in Australia, as well as litigation and regulatory investigations. 

“I look forward to working with the team at G+T to deliver excellent work for superannuation trustees.”
