Former Lander & Rogers COO Grant Scott-Hayward has made the move into the CEO role at Gadens Melbourne and has flagged “happiness” as one of his key priorities.  “Our firm is already high performing in a number of areas and everyone works extremely hard for our clients, but I believe there’s real potential here to make it a stand-out success when it comes to happiness combined with top performance,” he said.

At the same time, the firm announced three new Melbourne partner appointments: Annette Gaber (dispute resolution), Kirsten Ganley (insolvency) and Ivan Hristovski (corporate).
