The Sydney office of Colin Biggers & Paisley has acquired 12 new staff members, with the former property team from Morgan Lewis having joined the firm.

The group comprises four support staff and eight fee earners, including partners Rebecca Breen and Mark Morgan and senior associates Susan Bellamy and Bob Miljevic.

Managing partner Dunstan de Souza said that the addition of this new team would translate into a 50 percent revenue growth for the firm’s property practice group nationally. “One of the principles of our long-term strategy is to be a national leader in the field of property law and this expansion of our firm is helping us to achieve that goal,” he said.
