The move is a huge boost for the insurance-specialist firm. Jenne Tzavaras, Joanna Apostolopoulos and Ivan Medak are the three partners making the switch. 'This is a significant investment for our firm,' said Juan Martinez, managing partner of HWL, as quoted in Legal Week. The firm has 'been inextricably linked to the insurance sector for its entire history' he continued and is 'continuously looking for quality opportunities to broaden our offering in each of our core service areas'. HWL is a large independent law firm in Australia, ranked recently as the sixth largest legal partnership in the country.
