The promotion is recognition of her significant contribution and excellent level of client service, the firm said. She joined the Lane Neave in 2015 from Clayton Utz, where she was a senior associate. She was also previously at Chapman Tripp.

“On behalf of everyone at Lane Neave, I am delighted to welcome Joelle as our newest partner. This promotion is recognition of the massive contribution Joelle continues to make to the firm and her ability to deliver outstanding results for our clients,” said Andrew Shaw, Lane Neave managing partner. “Her elevation to partnership will help us accelerate the expansion of our national corporate practices and deliver an enhanced service to our clients.”

He said that Grace has consistently demonstrated the qualities that the firm’s clients value, including technical excellence and a strong focus on client service. The promotion is well-deserved, he said.
