Piper Alderman has welcomed a new insolvency partner in Brisbane this week. Warren Jiear, previously at Hynes Lawyers, will join the firm with a team of six lawyers, including special counsel Celestine Frost and senior associate Mario Esera. The new arrivals, along with the previously announced appointment of transport expert Peter Dwyer, will see the Brisbane headcount double in size.

“I’m excited by this opportunity to develop our capacity in this [insolvency] sector – an area in which Piper Alderman is already well-recognized and in which we expect solid growth over the new few years,” said Brisbane head Greg Whyte.
