Following time with Gilbert + Tobin’s investment funds team, Lucy Adamson has joined Hazelbrook Legal’s team. Her appointment will strengthen the firms standing as a “complex corporate specialist” with sought-after financial services expertise.

 
 

CEO Annabel Griffin commented: “Lucy has a fantastic reputation in the market and is a known team builder. She is a technically excellent lawyer and, importantly, she is a relationship builder. We think she will be a great cultural fit for Hazelbrook.”

Prior to Gilbert + Tobin, Ms Adamson worked in the financial services team at EY Law and in the corporate teams of Allen & Overy and Clayton Utz. Principal Hugh Griffin said her appointment is a “strategically important hire” and a testament to the firm’s reputation “as a great firm to work with and to do business with”.

“Lucy’s appointment demonstrates our commitment to the Sydney and wider domestic market and our focus on building out our capability to service this growing market,” he said. “It also shows Hazelbrook’s genuine commitment to supporting gender diversity at the most senior levels of the firm – as always, through actions.”
