Founder John Kain will become the firm’s executive chair later this year
Kain Lawyers senior director Michael Garry has been announced as the firm’s new managing director.
Garry steps into the role on 1 May, succeeding founder John Kain in a move that the firm said has been two years in the making.
“It is an honour to be called upon to lead the firm through its next phase. I’m genuinely excited about the opportunities ahead as we strengthen our position as mid-market transaction specialists”, Garry said. “We have assembled a fantastic team, have a compelling vision, and are seeing the benefits of a focused strategy”.
Garry began his tenure with Kain Lawyers in 2015. He has taken on key management and strategy roles, playing an important role in the firm’s growth as a top transaction lawyer.
“Australia’s mid-market investment landscape will be dynamic over the coming years, particularly with the increased depth of private capital driving transactions and growing demand for quality legal services”, he said.
Kain, who led the firm for 21 years, will take a sabbatical before transitioning to the role of executive chair.
