Australian personal injury firm Law Partners has promoted four new partners, which the firm says is part of ongoing growth and expansion.
Specialist personal injury law firm Law Partners has elevated four to the partnership.
Lydia Wheatley, Michele Cheong, and Tanja Maksimovic, all previously practice group leaders, along with Gillian Potts, formerly special counsel, have been appointed to partner.
Law Partners has more than 150 legal staff and offices across Victoria and NSW.
Speaking about the promotions, Law Partners managing director Adrian Pin said the new partners had made sizable contributions as personal injury lawyers at the firm, as well as demonstrated key leadership qualities.
“This is an exciting time for our firm as we continue to grow and expand, and I’m confident our new partners will play a key role in shaping the future of Law Partners,” Pin said.
“Each of them is an inspiration to our entire firm, and it’s a pleasure to see them step up and grow into their new roles.”
Partners Chantille Khoury and Shane Butcher said: “We’re both incredibly proud to officially welcome Gillian, Lydia, Michele, and Tanja as partners at Law Partners. Empathy is in our DNA, and each of these leaders has consistently shown an outstanding commitment to client care, while at the same time thoughtfully guiding our next generation of personal injury legal experts. Their elevation to partners is a testament to their great work and commitment to our values.”
