Hall & Wilcox has welcomed superannuation specialist Heather Gray and her team to the fold from DLA Piper. This hire will see the firm add Gray as a partner, while her colleagues Andrew Fairley, Jodi Preston and Lalitha Visuasam will also make the switch. Fairley has been appointed as a consultant, Preston has been appointed special counsel and Visuasam has been appointed senior associate.
Gray said that she had decided to join Hall & Wilcox because of the firm’s strategic focus on the funds and financial services sector. “Hall & Wilcox has a reputation as one of Australia’s leading firms in the financial services sector,” she said. “The firm has a strong focus on superannuation; I believe our collective experience will really add value for our mutual clients.”
