Sydney-based firm Addisons has moved to bolster its insolvency and restructuring and commercial litigation and dispute resolution practice with the appointment of a new partner to lead that practice, who has brought a senior associate with him.
Steven Mattiussi (pictured) has joined Addisons, where he will lead the firm’s insolvency and restructuring and commercial litigation and dispute resolution practice.
He brings, Addisons said in a statement, nearly two decades of experience as a commercial litigator and is a “highly regarded” expert specialising in insolvency and restructuring.

Vivien Botsikas has also joined the firm as a senior associate. The pair have come over from boutique firm Watson Mangioni.
Speaking about the hires, Addisons managing partner Kieren Parker said: “The partnership at Addisons is thrilled to welcome Steve to the firm. Steve’s appointment will strengthen our insolvency and restructuring expertise, which is a key area of legal practice for Addisons.
“Steve comes highly regarded and shares our values, and with Steve’s leadership, we are excited about the growth of our insolvency and restructuring and commercial litigation and dispute resolution practice over the coming years.”
Mr Mattiussi added: “It is a great pleasure to be joining the team at Addisons, a firm with such a strong reputation established over many years of successful practice.
“I look forward to working with my new colleagues and contributing to the firm’s overall offering, including in my areas of expertise, especially given prevailing market conditions that are providing challenges and opportunities for all manner of enterprises.”
