Gavin MacLaren’s run was originally scheduled to conclude in 2023
Corrs Chambers Westgarth CEO Gavin MacLaren is set to stay on top for another term.
The firm announced that he has been reappointed to the role, in which he will remain until 30 June 2028. MacLaren’s tenure as CEO, which began in 2018, was originally scheduled to conclude on 30 June 2023.
“The firm moved to reappoint Gavin for an additional term, ahead of the scheduled renewal process. The seven-year extension reflects Corrs’ success under Gavin’s leadership,” chairman Stephen Price said. “On behalf of the partnership I would like to thank Gavin for his vision, strong leadership and commitment to the firm’s success.”
Price pointed out that Corrs’ market position improved in the past three years under MacLaren, with the firm’s client base growing considerably and profitability increasing along with market share. Moreover, the firm recorded “positive cultural change,” as well as strong recruitment results.
MacLaren, who is also a senior partner at the firm, said he was eager to implement the next part of Corrs’ agenda.
“It has been a great privilege to lead Corrs through a period of transition and I would like to thank the firm’s clients and all our people for their support over the last three years. I have been delighted with the energy and enthusiasm at the firm. We have achieved a lot over the past three years and look forward to delivering on the next phase of the firm’s agenda. It is an exciting time to be at Corrs,” he said.
The firm’s partners unanimously approved MacLaren’s reappointment during a national meeting.
