To assist its clients with navigating an increasingly innovative business landscape, Griffith Hack has promoted four senior lawyers.
Jessica Lee and Shannon Fati have been promoted to principal, while Tim Fyfe and Pulari Thangavelu were elevated to senior associate.
With Australian organisations increasingly investing in digital transformation, emerging technologies, and research commercialisation, Griffith Hack said the promotions would assist clients with creating, protecting, and maximising the value of innovation.
Managing director Aaron Le Poidevin said the four new appointments also recognise the lawyers who have demonstrated the ability to combine their technical expertise with commercial insight.
“Intellectual property has never been more important to business success,” Le Poidevin said.
“Whether clients are developing breakthrough technologies, expanding into new markets, or protecting valuable brands and inventions, they need advisers who understand both the legal framework and the commercial realities they operate within.”
Lee, from the firm’s engineering and ICT team, and Fati, from the firm’s law practice, have “consistently demonstrated these qualities”.
Le Poidevin added that both Lee and Fati have built strong relationships with clients, contributed significantly to the culture at Griffith Hack, and have delivered “outstanding outcomes in complex matters”.
The managing director said one of the firm’s strengths has been the ability to develop and promote “exceptional people”, and it remains committed to fostering an environment where talented professionals can build rewarding careers and grow into leadership roles.
“I am grateful for the mentorship and guidance I have received throughout my career at Griffith Hack, which reflect the firm’s warm and supportive culture and have created valuable opportunities for growth while enabling me to better support our clients.
“I look forward to contributing to the firm’s continued growth as part of such a talented group, while mentoring colleagues as they develop their own careers,” Lee said.
