“I’m excited to be joining Mills Oakley at a time of rapid growth within the private advisory team and the broader firm,” he added.

Prior to 2014, Mr Palmer worked for NAB representing high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients on matters including succession of related corporates, self-managed super funds and trust structures. He has worked in estate planning, administration and trustee arrangements for the past 16 years.
