One headed up MinterEllison's Canberra office, while another led its national government practice
Clayton Utz has swiped its four newest partners from MinterEllison.
Geoff Shaw, Amanda Story, Edward Campbell and Suriyaa Rome will commence at Clayton Utz’s Canberra office in the next few months. Commercial litigator Shaw was head of MinterEllison’s Canberra office, while Story led the firm’s national government practice.
Campbell focuses on real estate law, property development and construction, while Rome concentrates on Commonwealth procurement, contracting and funding matters.
“We’re growing our presence in Canberra in response to an increasing need for complex legal advice in both the private and public sector. The Australian Capital Territory’s economy is growing and the associated requirement for expert legal advice is evolving”, Clayton Utz CEP Emma Covacevich said. “With the addition of these four outstanding lawyers to our partnership we’re expanding our client offering and deepening the expertise we already provide”.
With the new hires, the roster of partners at Clayton Utz Canberra swells to 15.
