Our national legal team is celebrating a series of promotions announced this week.

Head of Consulting & Legal Services Michael Mead said he was delighted to acknowledge the significant contribution that each of the lawyers had made to Ai Group Workplace Lawyers this year.

Melissa Phang, of our Sydney team, has been promoted to Senior Associate and joins Gella Rips from the Sydney team who has been promoted to the position of Special Counsel.

Luca Saccoccio and Stewart Rinkevich of the Melbourne and Brisbane offices respectively also receive promotion to the position of Special Counsel in recognition of their wonderful contributions to those employers they have advised over the past 12 months.

Mr Mead said the promotions were all well-deserved.

“Ensuring that we have a team that is progressing in its professional capability and that we are offering team members the opportunity to grow and develop continues to be an important focus for me,” Mr Mead said.

“The promotions are a credit to the hard work, excellence and energy that they bring to clients every day. We continue to grow as a team and these promotions recognise the wonderful capability of these individuals and the Ai Group Workplace Lawyers team more broadly.”
