The BigLaw firm’s insurance practice had made five new appointments, including special counsel George Williams, solicitor Alice Elliott, and paralegals Jordon Baillie, Aidan O’Callaghan, and Georgia Williams.

Both Mr Williams and Ms Elliott have come across from Barry Nilsson.

The five professionals will all be part of partner Georgina Wong’s team, who joined the partnership in January of this year.

The news follows the firm’s hiring of two senior associates from IRIQ Law in late July, its naming of a new partner and promotion of 12 to senior associate in late June, and its addition of another senior associate for its insurance practice in early June.

Ms Wong said: “I am excited to welcome back George along with welcoming Alice, Jordon, Aidan, and Georgia. We are in a strong phase of growth, and we recognise our clients’ growing needs for expert legal representation across specialist liability lines of business.

“George’s expertise and experience complement the team’s capabilities and will add significant resources to service our clients in the industry.”

Mr Williams added: “I am delighted to rejoin Colin Biggers & Paisley’s insurance team. I look forward to working alongside my talented colleagues to provide comprehensive legal support and representation to our clients.

“Together, we will continue to strengthen our position and meet the needs of our valued clients in Queensland.”

And Colin Biggers & Paisley joint insurance practice leader Cathryn Prowse said: “The growth in Georgina’s team is fantastic. It shows that our commitment to attracting and nurturing first-rate practitioners has been working, notwithstanding some challenging market factors.

“I look forward to continuing to support Georgina, George, and the rest of the team with their focus on delivering commercial solutions for their clients.”
