New partners bring decades of experience in key areas
MinterEllison announced an expansion of its consulting division, adding seven consulting specialists to its partnership.
The new partners bring over 130 years of combined expertise in governance, risk and compliance, anti-money laundering, fraud and forensics, systems, data, and analytics. Their addition is expected to boost MinterEllison’s consulting partnership to 18 partners working alongside its legal experts to provide clients with end-to-end support, according to a news release.
The partners, joining the risk and regulatory practice, include Peter Forwood, Mark Rigby, Ashley Rockman, Nicole Salimbeni, Malcolm Shackell, Edwina Star, and Garth Williams.
Virginia Briggs, chief executive officer and managing partner at MinterEllison, expressed optimism for the firm’s growth. “We are thrilled to welcome these new partners to the firm, each at the top of their game in these critical sectors,” said Briggs. “Their unparalleled expertise and insight will undoubtedly enhance our ability to not only meet the current demands of clients but also to help them thrive in their increasingly dynamic and complex operating environments.”
Since launching its technology consulting practice in 2017, the firm has diversified its offerings, addressing a range of business challenges, including cyber security, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance, and regulatory risk.
Victoria Hepburn, MinterEllison’s managing partner of consulting solutions, underscored the firm’s focus on integrated client support. “While MinterEllison will always fundamentally be a law firm, we will continue to redefine the boundaries of what it means to be a contemporary law firm,” Hepburn said. “We are always looking at ways to best respond to our clients’ changing demands, whether it be through targeted investment in highly complementary advisory services or our leading-edge technology position such as AI. Ensuring that our clients benefit from an integrated offering has long been a core part of our growth strategy.”
