Special Counsel Helen Kay has accepted a position as a Partner with Creevey Russell Lawyers, making the Queensland legal firm’s partnership rank now 50 per cent female. A highly experienced senior commercial and property lawyer, Kay joined the firm as a Special Counsel in January this year and has moved quickly into partnership alongside Tom Rynders, Clare Creevey and Dan Creevey.
Clare Creevey said the firm was proud and delighted that 50 per cent of its partners were women. “It’s a proud milestone for the firm to have women as 50 per cent of our equity partners,” Clare Creevey said. “We have been committed to building a gender equal firm, and addressing economic inequality for women is an important issue for the legal community.”
Dan Creevey said Kay accepting the partnership with the firm was an exciting development for Creevey Russell Lawyers, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year. “Helen has been a tremendous asset for the firm, after working within top tier firms in the United Kingdom and Australia as well as running her own legal practice and heading up various other successful commercial practices,” he said. “Creevey Russell has benefited from Helen’s experience in corporate and commercial matters including business sales and acquisitions, leasing, franchising, corporate structuring and commercial property transactions. Helen is passionate about working closely with her clients to understand their business and help them to achieve their strategic goals.”
Kay said she was excited about the opportunity to be a Partner with Creevey Russell Lawyers. “Creevey Russell Lawyers is a forward thinking law firm which offers its clients exceptional service across all areas of the law,” she said. “The firm is expanding as a direct result of its continued success – there are exciting times to come for us and our clients.”
