Georgina Parisis (pictured) joins from Moray & Agnew, bringing with her almost 15 years of experience managing highly structured and complex commercial transactions both in Australia and internationally, including private equity investments and divestments, IPOs and backdoor listings.

Speaking about the appointment, Elit Lawyers co-founder and director Danielle Snell said that the appointment strengthens the firm’s continued growth across key areas where it expects demand from clients. 

“Her expertise and reputation in managing complex transactions is already of significant interest to our existing client base,” she said.

Fellow co-founder and director Robert McGirr added that the appointment “provides an additional avenue for clients to achieve commercial outcomes during a time of significant change and into the future”.

Ms Parisis said: “Many factors attracted me to partnership at Elit Lawyers by McGirr & Snell, and I am thrilled to be part of a progressive law firm driven to challenge the traditional way of doing things.
