Experienced business leader Ross Adler AC has joined Adelaide law firm Kelly & Co’s business advisory council.

The current chairman and CEO of Amtrade International and Dominos’ Pizza Enterprises is also the former chief executive of Santos and former director of Telstra and the Commonwealth Bank. “In an outstanding career spanning over 45 years, Adler has built a reputation as one of the most successful and distinguished businessmen in the state,” Kelly & Co chairman of partners Jamie Restas said. “Ross has served on the boards of many of Australia’s leading companies. His outstanding knowledge and experience within the national business landscape will be invaluable to Kelly & Co.”

Adler is the second appointment to Kelly & Co’s new council, which has been established to further strengthen the firm’s links with the local business community and provide thought leadership to the Partnership and its clients. The first appointment to the council was Rob Chapman, who was appointed in June. The firm is looking to make further appointments to its council in the near future.
“Kelly & Co is a dynamic and ambitious local firm with exciting growth potential,” Adler said. “I look forward to contributing where I can to its ongoing development.”
