Moray & Agnew is pleased to start the new year with two senior promotions in its Newcastle office. Megan Palmer is promoted to Special Counsel in the Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution team, and Tina Kealy is promoted to Senior Associate in the Property & Estate Planning team.

Sean O’Sullivan, Managing Partner (Newcastle), says, “Celebrating the successes of another two of our skilled and experienced lawyers is a fantastic start to the new year – and new decade. All our partners and staff congratulate Megan and Tina on their well-earned promotions; their skills add to the depth of legal talent in our Newcastle office.

“It’s also great to see more women moving into senior positions. In fact, almost 85% of our office’s senior promotions over the last five years have been female. Gender equality continues to be a focus for Moray & Agnew as we attract, develop and retain top female talent.”

Megan and Tina join ten other staff promotions from 1 January 2020 in Moray & Agnew’s offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
