This news follows recent promotions rounds at fellow BigLaw firms, including three partners promoted at Thomson Geer, the elevation of 18 at Johnson Winter Slattery, 35 promotions at Lander & Rogers, and seven to partner at Moray & Agnew late last month, as well as three new partners at Corrs Chambers Westgarth, also in late May.

The new partners, all based in Sydney, are Ooma Khurana, Greg Palumbo and Rosamond Sayer.

Maddocks also promoted seven special counsel, 13 senior associates, 18 associates and six legal services staff across the country.

Maddocks chief executive David Newman said that these promotions reflect the firm’s growing client base across capital markets, technology and commercial markets.

“It has been another strong year of growth at Maddocks. We were appointed to a string of high-profile matters and achieved a record number of awards in recognition for excellence in our legal expertise and client service,” he said.

“Our promotions demonstrate the firm’s ongoing transformation, both internally and across the legal sector, backed up by our dedication to making a difference to our clients. With their needs at the forefront, we will continue to invest in and grow our business.”
