Russell is a partner in our commercial team. He provides legal advice on a full range of commercial matters, with a focus on mergers and acquisitions, capital raising processes and commercial and consumer lending.

He enjoys helping clients execute their strategies and meet their goals. Russell gears his advice to their required outcomes and is always mindful that clients of different sizes have different priorities and require a tailored approach.
