Carter Newell has promoted five lawyers across its Brisbane and Sydney offices, effective from 1 February 2026.
Chief Executive Officer Marc Walker congratulates Elle Mariconte (General Liability) on her elevation to Special Counsel; Andrea Clifford (Professional Liability), and Abraham Hopkins (Construction, Projects & Infrastructure) and Mikaela McKinnon (Construction, Projects & Infrastructure; Professional Liability) to Senior Associate, and Brittany Lorenzini (Construction, Projects & Infrastructure) to Associate.
