The two new Australian partners are Tim Dorgan, in the firm’s energy and transactional services practices, and Sean Henderson, who practices in infrastructure, finance and projects.

Across the globe, the partner promotions have come in the firm’s international arbitration, equality law, technology, science and industry practice groups, as well as appointing a new partner for its professional services practice group, Vario.

The news follows the firm’s appointment of a new head in its Melbourne office, as reported by Lawyers Weekly in February.

It also follows the appointment of seven new partners at fellow BigLaw firm Allens, as reported in late March.

Speaking about the promotions round, Pinsent Masons senior partner Andrew Masraf said: “I am incredibly proud of all of our new partners taking the next step in their careers as we recognise the tremendous talent that will help shape the future of our business.

“This year’s partner promotions show our commitment to invest across our sectors, our diverse skill sets, our priority investment areas and our locations, enhancing our partner capability, capacity and expertise.” 

Pinsent Masons’ APAC head James Morgan-Payler added: “These promotions reflect continued and significant growth Pinsent Masons has experienced in the region as market leaders in our core sectors and service areas.
