Leading independent Australian law firm McCullough Robertson Lawyers has appointed Hayley Mitchell as a partner in the Estates team in Brisbane and Anthony Rotili as a partner in the Finance team based in Sydney.
Hayley joins McCullough Robertson from Cooper Grace Ward where she spent five years as a partner. She is a highly skilled and respected practitioner with deep expertise in estate advisory work, superannuation death benefit disputes, estate planning and estate administration. Hayley is a dual-accredited specialist in Succession Law (Queensland) and Self-Managed Superannuation Funds, and her appointment advances the firm’s commitment to women in leadership.
McCullough Robertson alumni Anthony returns to the firm after eleven years spent in various legal roles at National Australia Bank, including senior leadership roles, where he provided front end transactional support to NAB’s Business and Private Bank and Corporate and Institutional Bank. An accomplished banking lawyer with extensive experience and commercial insight, Anthony’s appointment marks a continued expansion of the Sydney office.
“These appointments are extremely exciting for our firm and our clients, adding depth to our Estates practice and McR Private offering, and building on our Finance capability nationally and the growth of our Sydney office. Since 1926 our firm has been built on establishing deep and long-term relationships across our diversified client base, from private clients through to corporates, government and financial institutions. This approach is integral to the future of McCullough Robertson as we adapt to and support our clients in a world of constant change.”

Kristan Conlon, McCullough Robertson Chair of Partners says:
“I am delighted to welcome Hayley to the partnership and to see Anthony return to the firm as a partner. I know our people will benefit from Hayley and Anthony’s focus on mentorship and development, and our clients will benefit from their experience and approachable manner.”
