The firm promoted a total of 84 partners across its international offices
Three lawyers in Australia have made partner in Baker McKenzie’s major partnership promotions round, which saw a total of 84 making partner across several practice groups in the firm’s international offices.
Lawyers from the firm’s APAC offices comprised 23% of the promotions.
Aylin Cunsolo from the Melbourne office and Eric Thianpiriya from the Sydney office are both part of the firm’s projects group, while Ian Innes of the Brisbane office is part of the dispute resolution group.
Cunsolo’s practice focuses on the acquisition, divestment, development and ongoing operation of significant businesses and projects in the energy and resources sectors.
