Former Ashurst LLP international commercial litigation specialist Mark Elvy has been appointed as partner to Ashurst’s Australian dispute resolution practice, based in the firm’s Sydney office.
Mr Elvy, an Australian who was a partner for 16 years with Ashurst in the UK, has been consulting to Ashurst as well as other leading international organisations since he returned to Australia in 2010 following a 23-year stint working overseas – all at Ashurst.
Managing Partner of Ashurst in Australia John Carrington said:
“Mark is very experienced in complex and high profile commercial, financial and product liability disputes, with particular expertise in class actions and regulatory investigations and proceedings. He has strong relationships with significant global clients of Ashurst and has acted as the lead international counsel in relation to disputes brought in various jurisdictions over a number years. Mark’s expertise and experience will complement the existing capabilities of our disputes team and is sure to assist in the continuing growth of our practice.”
Mr Elvy has expressed excitement about joining the team:
“I’m re-joining the firm I know so well, and at an incredibly exciting time as we step onto a truly global platform. Most of my clients are large international corporations and Ashurst is perfectly placed to assist them. Ashurst in Australia has a very strong dispute resolution team and I look forward to helping the Australian and global dispute resolution practice grow and develop further.”
