MinterEllison elevates 68 to senior associate in massive promotion round

MinterEllison has elevated 68 lawyers to senior associate in a massive promotion round.

The promotions were made across the firm’s offices in Australia—as well as its overseas branches in Ulaanbaatar and Beijing. Several practice groups were beefed up by the elevations.

“On behalf of the partners, I am delighted to congratulate our next cohort of future leaders. Their promotion reinforces our commitment to attracting and developing diverse talent who are committed to creating lasting impacts with our clients, our communities and their colleagues,” said Annette Kimmitt, CEO and managing partner.

Kimmitt said that the group had demonstrated consistent “resilience and agility” in the volatile environment.

“They bring deep technical excellence, are curious and innovative and are focused on building deep and enduring relationships with clients,” she said. “Their commitment to making diversity, in all its forms, a central tenet of how our firm collaborates is inspiring.”

A total of 68% of the promoted lawyers were women—highlighting the firm’s stance on gender equality and “reflecting the outstanding depth of female talent,” MinterEllison said.

The new senior associates stepped into their roles on 1 September. The full list of promoted lawyers is as follows:
