The firm also expanded its overall roster to 100
Chamberlains has promoted James d’Apice to director, making him the firm’s 10th director.
“James has proven a valuable asset for the firm since day one, not only in developing and growing his team and the firm’s clientele, but also in coaching staff and working closely with our marketing and business development team. Besides his impressive resume, his impeccable style and infinite positive energy will make an excellent addition to our strategic leadership group,” managing director Stipe Vuleta said.
d'Apice’s appointment came into effect on Wednesday. The firm said that the promotion highlighted his success in growing his corporate disputes team; he has utilised his Coffee and a Case Note podcast to develop his practice, and has also appeared on other podcasts and interviews.
d'Apice added that he felt “very privileged to find myself at this point.”
“I joined the firm in 2020 with a healthy scepticism. ‘We’re With You’ initially felt too touchy-feely as a motto for a firm with national aspirations. But as time has passed, and as I have got to know the entire team, I have learned that Chambos really is with everyone we encounter: members of our team, our colleagues at other firms, our referrers, and even our opponents and competitors,” he said.
“Hopefully my experience sharing my expertise online, and the occasional successes I have enjoyed as a corporate litigator, bode well for my further contributions at a more strategic level.”
In addition to elevating d'Apice to the leadership, Chamberlains promoted two special counsel, two associates and two senior lawyers. The firm also welcomed its 100th staff member this month.
“Seeing the firm grow from a local property firm to its current shape, passing 100 staff with a national presence and full-service offering, makes me extremely proud of what we, and our incredible staff, have achieved in recent years,” Vuleta said.
