Demonstrating its investment in the development of its people, Dentons has promoted 23 senior lawyers, including two partners.
Tom Reid and Urvashi Seomangal.
Dentons’ Australian chair and chief executive officer of Australasia, Amber Warren, said she was excited to congratulate the newly elevated lawyers.
“Each of them has demonstrated exceptional skill, dedication to client service and teamwork, and this achievement is thoroughly deserved.
“We look forward to continuing to support their development as they take this next step in their careers,” Warren said.
The new partners are dispute resolution lawyer Tom Reid and corporate lawyer Urvashi Seomangal, both based in Sydney.
Reid has acted for clients across a number of matters, including property disputes, shareholder disputes, and actions under the Corporations Act, including actions for breach of directors’ duties.
His clients – including major property owners, developers and managers, sporting organisations, ASX-listed companies and high-net-worth individuals – have been represented before the Supreme Court of NSW and Victoria, and in the Federal Court of Australia.
Seomangal’s expertise includes advising on the Corporations Act, compliance with ASX listing rules, corporate restructuring, corporate governance issues, and the duties of directors across various sectors.
Her largely cross-border practice involves clients in Singapore, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and India, as well as capital markets and M&A transactions in North America and the UK.
Dentons new managing associates are Abbi Beckwith from the recovery and restructuring team, Elizabeth Fredericks from dispute resolution, and Faraz Rashid and Xiu Hui Chow from banking and finance.
The special counsel promotions are intellectual property and technology’s Antonia Hudson; corporate’s Jack Williams; recovery and restructuring’s Joanna Yu, Romina Rositano, and Sean Tang; and real estate’s Stephanie Hendy.
New senior associates are Anna Sutton-Kunc in employment and safety; Bella Lin and Shaneeza Shah in banking and finance; Billy Duan in construction; Hugh Cranendonk in dispute resolution; Isabel McDowell in real estate; James Colliver and Sam Dillon in corporate; and Joanne Sellathamboo, Kathryn Murray, and Rhyann M’Gee from dispute resolution.
