Mr Gascoigne-Cohen has been with Keypoint since 2014, working on complex trust, superannuation, estate planning, probate and administration issues for high-net worth clients, as well as working “extensively” with the commercial litigation team. Mr Tolkin has been with the firm since 2015, and “has been instrumental in servicing, retaining, and attracting to the firm, a roster of blue-chip clients” in workplace law.
The promotions mark the first time, in the firm’s seven-year history, that it is has elevated lawyers internally to the position of principal, having previously appointed principals via lateral hires.
In a statement, Keypoint said that both lawyers “stand out for their legal skill, dedication, and superb client manner”.
Speaking about the two new consulting principals, Keypoint chief executive Warren Kalinko said: “What is particularly encouraging about both these promotions, is that they demonstrate the development of our home-grown talent.
“When the firm was originally formed, it was envisaged purely as a firm for senior lawyers. It is gratifying to see how Keypoint has evolved, innovated, and most importantly, found a way to ensure that rising stars within its ranks can find a route to Consulting Principal through talent, hard work and a mastery of their areas.
“Both Dean and Adam exemplify these traits. We are delighted with these appointments and congratulate Adam and Dean on their tremendous achievements.”
