Rockwell Olivier has unveiled a new Melbourne private client offering, to be known as “Argyle Private by Rockwell Olivier”. This will be a specialised service providing advice to individuals and families on all aspects of their personal and business affairs.

 The practice will be staffed by three new recruits from the legal arm of estate planning/administration and trustee services business, Flinders Trustees Limited: Michael Whittington, Carole Ainio and Ro Krivanek. These three professionals will join Rockwell Olivier’s Melbourne team from mid July, bringing with them a new private client offering in wills and powers of attorney, estate planning, executor assist services and  trust and agency services.

These new services will be offered in addition to Rockwell Olivier’s traditional corporate and transactional services, which will continue to operate. “Rockwell Olivier Melbourne is expanding its team capabilities at a rapid rate with the introduction of various industry practices such as employment, bankruptcy and insolvency, gaming and hospitality and now estate planning and trustee services, all in the past two years,”  said Melbourne managing principal Adam Levine.

Rockwell Olivier is the new brand recently adopted by three firms owned by listed entity Integrated Legal Holdings. The three firms were Argyle Lawyers (Sydney), Talbot Olivier (Perth), and Rockwell Bates (Melbourne). The firm has 24 principals and 50 other fee earners.
