We are pleased to expand our litigation team to meet the growing demand in this space, and welcome Joanne Marino to the firm, states Attwood Marshall Lawyers Legal Practice Director Jeff Garrett.
Introduction
We welcome Joanne Marino to our expanding Estate Litigation and Commercial Litigation departments. Joanne joins our team as a Senior Paralegal at a time when we are growing the team to meet demand within this sector. Enquiries in this space have grown exponentially over the past 12 months, particularly in relation to the issues many people are facing when being involved with Public Trustees around Australia. With more people becoming aware of the Public Trustees failings, people are taking action and exploring their options to remove the Public Trustee from their lives.
In the Commercial Litigation space, we have also seen a significant increase in banking and insurance disputes during the COVID era, as well as building disputes due to the ongoing issues the construction industry is facing.
A growing litigation team needs additional support, which is why creating a new role for an experienced Senior Paralegal was imperative and where Joanne will be extremely valuable in supporting our lawyers and our clients in their matters.
