8 October 2025

We are pleased to announce the appointment of 7 of our colleagues, who have all been promoted to the role of Senior Executive Lawyer (SEL) in the Dispute Resolution (DR) practice area. We would like to congratulate new SELs: Charine Bennett, Catherine Ellis, Daniella Di Girolamo, Lisa Hemingway, Louise McConnell, Nithya Ramesh and Michelle Stone.

Justine Knowles, DR National Leader said, ‘These important senior roles require both fine technical legal skills and leadership in our practice. This group brings talents and skills across a broad legal range: information, tort, common law, judicial and merits review, national security, integrity, crime, international and more.’

Our AGS SES Band 1 SELs (equivalent to Partner level) have a proven ability to lead and manage the most significant, complex and often sensitive matters for a range of Commonwealth clients.
