Leading independent law firm McCullough Robertson has announced the appointment of two new partners effective 1 July 2023:

Ms Morgan is a corporate lawyer experienced in unregulated mergers and acquisitions and who advises clients on all aspects of corporate transactions and foreign investment regulation.

Ms Omundson is also a corporate lawyer with particular focus on equity and capital markets, regulated transactions and governance advice. Naomi acts for clients across a broad range of industries but has a particular focus in the technology and life sciences space.
Kristan Conlon, McCullough Robertson Chair of Partners says:
“I am delighted to welcome Meg and Naomi to the partnership. Like me, they started at McCullough Robertson as graduates and it has been fantastic to see them learn and grow as their careers have evolved. They live our values of ‘down to earth’, ‘committed’, ‘commercial’ and ‘generous’ in all that they do, and I am excited about the contribution they will make as partners and women in leadership as we adapt to meet ever-changing market needs and align our focus to strengthen the support we have provided to our clients since 1926. I look forward to working closely with Meg and Naomi, as we head towards our 100th year and beyond.”
