TurksLegal is delighted to announce the promotions of Darryl Pereira and Michael Lamproglou to partnership. Darryl has over 10 years’ experience as a financial services specialist. He has worked on many large transactions including documenting Australia’s largest group life insurance transaction for one of our clients just last year. He has also represented large financial institutions in major disputes and litigation. “We are very proud of Darryl’s expertise in ‘front-end’ advisory and transactional work, as well as his great track record in dispute resolution and litigation. He combines excellent legal skills with a commercially astute, ‘no nonsense’ approach, honed through significant stints working with our clients on secondment. His first-hand insights into servicing the complex needs of large wealth management organisations mean he is perfectly placed to continue growing our wealth management advisory practice at a time of enormous change for the sector, spurred by the FOFA and MySuper reforms”, said John Myatt, head of TurksLegal’s insurance and financial services group. Michael Lamproglou is a workers compensation specialist focussed on pursuing section 151Z recovery claims for insurers and employers. His practice involves recovering compensation payments from a wide range of negligent third parties under various legislative regimes including motor accident, civil liability and civil aviation. Head of TurksLegal’s workers compensation group, John Hick commended Michael on his many career achievements. “Michael is an exceptional lawyer who has been able to achieve outstanding results for our clients in complex recovery claims. He has successfully litigated a number of 151Z cases in the NSW Court of Appeal. He has an excellent grasp of the needs of insurers and employers and understands the value they place on the efficient and cost-effective management of claims. “TurksLegal has one of the most dynamic workers compensation practices in NSW and I am confident that Michael will continue to build on our success,” Mr Hick said. These two promotions bring the total partner count at TurksLegal to 25.
