The firm has also expanded its family law capabilities. Joanne Lister, previously from Musgrave Lister Family Lawyers, has merged her practice with M+K and now heads the firm's family law practice in Sydney.

With 20 lawyers now on staff, the M+K Sydney practice has doubled its size in the last 12 months and now offers services in tax, family law, corporate and commercial, litigation, insolvency, property, transport and commodities, employment law and business succession planning. The firm's national presence now includes three offices in Melbourne, Dandenong (Victoria) and Sydney.

In addition to the appointment of Lister, the firm made two other senior appointments, including the appointment of Greg Peach as managing director of the Sydney practice.
