Carter Newell Lawyers have elevated two leading practitioners within the award winning team.

Laura Pavlovski has been elevated to Senior Associate within the Construction & Engineering team where she specialises in construction and engineering insurance litigation. Laura's elevation strengthens the team which was last year independently recognised as a leading practice group in Construction & Engineering in Brisbane.

Carter Newell's Corporate & Commercial team also continues to grow and develop with Leah Mangano being elevated to Associate. Leah specialises in both property and resources law and has recently participated in a short-term secondment in an in-house legal advisory role within a national publicly listed petroleum producer.

Senior partner, Paul Hopkins stated that the elevations signify the continued growth and success of the firm.

"We are well placed to continue to provide high quality legal service to enable our clients to achieve their business goals in 2009", he said.
