Two of the founding directors of Melbourne-based Clarendon Lawyers have joined M+K Lawyers. Michael Fernon and Craig Finlayson and their teams will head for M+K, while Clarendon Lawyers’ M&A practice will continue under the guidance of Tony Symons and Nick Manuell.

“We will continue to provide top tier service in a smaller environment and without the expensive trimmings,” said Symons. “Our key people all still have big firm experience and our vision remains to be recognised as the leading Australian boutique corporate law firm in our core practice areas.”
Meanwhile, M+K national managing director Damian Paul welcomed his new recruits.

“We have known Craig and Michael for years. They are high quality lawyers who share M+K's focus on the mid-market. This will be a very good fit," he said.
