Firm welcomes three new partners
McCarthy Denning has strengthened its employment, commercial and litigation offerings with the addition of three new partners. Employment lawyer and part-time Judge, Louise Skehan, who previously ran her own law firm—Skehan Legal—joins alongside international litigator and commercial lawyer, Michael Brotchie, who was previously at Canadian law firm Hobbs Giroday, and litigator Gordon Adam who joins from Monro Wright & Wasbroough LLP where he was head of dispute resolution. The three appointments follow McCarthy Denning’s conversion to an ABS in March of this year and the firm’s announcement that it is looking to grow to 50 lawyers by the end of 2017.
Warren Wooldridge, McCarthy Denning co-founder and CEO, comments: 'We are pleased to welcome Louise, Michael and Gordon to McCarthy Denning as we action our ambitious plan to grow the firm to 50 lawyers by the end of 2017 and 100 lawyers by the end of 2018. As well as being excellent lawyers, Louise, Michael and Gordon also have strong commercial acumen from the broad experience they have gained. This is a hallmark of McCarthy Denning lawyers who shun the traditional law firm model to work through a firm that is built around the needs of the client and where lawyers are empowered to work with agility and autonomy.'
