Victorian Bar president Jennifer Batrouney QC welcomed the eighteen new silks to their new roles, saying each will be a valuable addition to the bar.

“We congratulate Victoria’s newest silks,” she said.

“[The] appointments demonstrate balance in the recognition of the exceptional skill and diversity of talent within the bar across practice areas and levels of seniority.

“The silks appointed have each been recognised as leaders of the bar, demonstrating professional excellence in their respective areas of practice.”

The 18 appointments were unveiled by Chief Justice Marilyn Warren AC, following an extensive consultation process with the profession and the judiciary.

Ms Batrouney noted that the Victorian Bar is grateful for, and continues to be strongly supportive of, the central involvement of the Chief Justice in the appointment process.
