The elevations bolster the firm’s tech, environment and corporate offerings
DLA Piper has promoted three lawyers to senior roles.
Edward Eisdell-Moore and Kate Rogers are the firm’s newest special counsel, while Mary McCartin ascended to senior associate.
Eisdell-Moore is a technology and data lawyer who is an expert when it comes to the procurement, design, and implementation of complex IT systems and AI across various sectors. He provides guidance on IP creation, commercialisation and licencing, business process implementation and outsourcing transactions, cloud computing, e-commerce, cybersecurity, data protection, and privacy. His clients include startups and multinationals.
Country managing partner Laura Scampion highlighted Eisdell-Moore’s “leadership role as co-head of the Start-Up Advisory Group and co-director of our pro bono practice”, which she said “underscores his commitment to supporting the wider community and role modelling our firm values”.
Rogers is part of the environment, planning, and natural resources team in the firm’s Wellington office. A resource management law specialist, she provides advice on all aspects of resource management and regulatory issues. She is an expert in enforcement, plan drafting and review, and the implementation of national policy statements.
Scampion added that Rogers’ secondment to DLA Piper’s Hong Kong office helped to bolster global relationships.
McCartin has considerable experience in corporate and commercial law. She assists on domestic and cross-border M&A transactions, directors' duties and governance issues, structuring, and establishment of entities such as joint ventures; in particular, she is an expert in cross-border M&A, global reorganisations and amalgamations. She recorded a stint in Singapore before returning to DLA Piper.
The firm also elevated William Britton, Lola Stoodley and Sundaresh Thangavelu to associates.
