KordaMentha has revealed the promotion of 12 senior positions across the firm: four to partner and eight to executive directors.
The firm said the promotions reflect its strategic growth in its real estate advisory practice as well as the success of its expansion into financial crime and cyber security consultancy.
A leader in the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing sector, Rachel Challis is one of the four promotions to partner, with her new position to be in KordaMentha’s financial crime practice in Melbourne.
The firm said Ms Challis’s experience included leading supervision teams in conducting risk-based engagement, audit and investigation strategies as well as leading Australia’s AML/CTF policy capability during her time as strategic adviser to the chief executive at the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre.
KordaMentha also revealed the promotion of Nick Crockett to partner with its real estate practice in Melbourne.
The firm said Mr Crockett has more than 20 years of real estate, finance, and management experience across several global markets and had established and managed multiple platforms within the Asia Pacific.
