Cooneys Recognises its Rising Stars

The legal talent and expertise at Cooney Lees Morgan are now stronger than ever, with seven staff members receiving promotions in 2022.

Tania Waikato’s unparalleled litigation skills have led to her appointment as Special Counsel – one of only four such senior roles within the firm. 

Lydia Harris, Nicola King, Lucy McDougall, Tyler Buckley and Rachel van Rossen are all now Associates after performing exceptionally well in their individual teams and working tirelessly for our clients, while Sophia Antonopoulos has been appointed Senior Solicitor in recognition of her growing skills and experience. 

CEO Cecilia Burgess says the senior leadership team is really happy to be promoting seven such talented lawyers. 

“The promotions process at Cooney Lees Morgan is a collaborative one, where our people are involved in putting together a case for their promotions alongside the recommendations of their Partners. 

“We see the promotions process as an important step in our team’s individual career journeys with us.”

On behalf of CLM’s Partners and their colleagues, congratulations to all staff who have been promoted this year.
