Ms Thaker’s previous role saw her head up the legal arm of oil and petroleum giant United Petroleum for close to five years.

Prior to this, she was a special counsel at mid-tier law firm Maddocks.

Throughout her career, Ms Thaker has advised Australian and international developers, corporations, listed and unlisted property trusts and financiers on the full breadth of property transactions — including acquisitions, disposals, structuring issues, lease transactions and development advice in relation to retail, commercial, industrial and residential property, a statement from Keypoint noted.

Keypoint chief executive Warren Kalinko said Ms Thaker’s vast expertise would be of significant value to the firm.

“Sangeeta’s expertise and wide-ranging experience in property law will be of immense value to our firm and clients,” Mr Kalinko said.

“Sangeeta is a rigorous and highly experienced lawyer who brings strong commercial acumen and result-oriented thinking to the table.

“Our national team continues to grow with incredibly talented lawyers, and Sangeeta is simply another excellent testament to the firm’s quality-focused approach to growth. We look forward to welcoming Sangeeta to our Melbourne team.”
