Mid tier firm Russell Kennedy has announced the opening of a formal Canberra office.

“The opening of an office in Canberra was a logical next step for us,” said  managing partner Paul Gleeson. “We have acted for the Victorian Government for over 20 years and have in the past few years been successful in securing federal government department and agency clients.  Our lawyers have spent considerable time in Canberra and the opening of the office made sense.  We will also be announcing in coming months the appointment of Canberra based lawyers to work out of this office.”

Russell Kennedy has offices in Melbourne and Canberra and has 29 principals and over 210 staff. The firm also unveiled a new brand and logo to accompany the Canberra announcement.
