HopgoodGanim Lawyers is proud to announce 27 promotions, including a new partner, celebrated at their annual Gala dinner last week.
This year, the firm has elevated 16 legal practitioners, naming 3 Special Counsel, 1 Senior Associate, 9 Associates and 2 Solicitors.
Among the practitioners is newly appointed partner Jacqi Marshall, who has been recognised for her outstanding leadership and deep expertise in insurance litigation. Jacqi has been instrumental in delivering exceptional outcomes for clients, making her promotion a significant milestone for both her and the firm.
"Jacqi exemplifies everything we value at HopgoodGanim and is committed to supporting her team and clients. Her promotion to partner is a proud moment for all of us." Said Luke Mountford, Managing Partner at HopgoodGanim Lawyers.
In addition to legal promotions, the firm also celebrated the advancement of 5 legal support staff and 6 legal operations professionals across their Brisbane and Perth offices.
As we celebrate more than 50 years in business, this round of promotions is a powerful reminder of the strength of our people and the bright future ahead. Our next generation of leaders is ready to take us forward, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come."
Since 2021, HopgoodGanim has embraced a memorable approach to recognising talent – keeping its mid-year promotions confidential until their formal announcement at an annual Gala dinner.
“We are proud to recognise the achievements of these outstanding individuals in such a meaningful way and look forward to their continued success at the firm.”
