Baker McKenzie’s Australian offices will be bolstered with the appointment of a new director of business development and marketing who will bring over extensive experience from her time working in a similar position with Deloitte.
National managing partner Anthony Foley welcomed new recruit Marlien Neilson to the Australian offices and her extensive experience in senior roles within the business development and marketing spaces for major professional services firms.
Mr Foley added the firm owes incumbent Cat Wirth, who has been promoted into the role of global director of business development and marketing operations, “a debt of gratitude”.
On her new role, Ms Neilson said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to join a global law firm, leading a high performing business development and marketing team.
“Baker Makenzie enjoys a market leading reputation to which I am excited to build upon, in accepting the challenge of a highly competitive marketplace.”
