Maddocks announced today that it has secured Dr Joseph Monaghan as a new Partner in the Planning and Environment practice of its Melbourne office.
Joseph joins the firm after a decade at Holding Redlich where he built a stellar track record acting across a large range of prominent and strategic matters for State and Local Governments and water authorities in Victoria. His arrival coincides with a high level of demand for quality legal services in this area across the Maddocks client base.
Joseph is a highly experienced legal adviser with expertise in planning and environment advocacy in government panels and VCAT and compulsory acquisition including related litigation for disputed claims.
In appointing Joseph, Maddocks CEO David Newman commented: “Joseph’s appointment is testament to the continued strength of Maddocks’ Government Practice and its leading reputation. To attract a partner of Joseph’s calibre will only add to the depth of our practice and the continued strong relationship we have with our Government clients. We are excited for Joseph’s future with Maddocks for many years to come”.
Senior Environment and Planning Partner Maria Marshall added: “Joseph will be instrumental in building our offering across strategic areas of law for the Victorian state and local governments, and Maddocks’ continued focus on this important sector. He will join the team which is committed to providing strong service and value to all the departments and agencies for which we act”.
Joseph was equally as delighted by his appointment: “Maddocks is a firm that is admired by many for its dedication to the Government Sector. With strength in its practices which have serviced the Government for over 100 years, as well as its market leading Legal Process Management systems and a strong focus on client service, it is a firm I am excited to be a part of”.
Joining Joseph in his new role will be a small team including Special Counsel Tess Kerridge, Associate Christopher Watt, and Lawyer Jess Critchley-Roy.
