Hall & Wilcox appoints Nigel Clark as its Global Relations Consultant

Hall & Wilcox is delighted to announce the appointment of Nigel Clark as our Global Relations Consultant, based in London.

Nigel has previously led MinterEllison's international referrals strategy out of London, Beijing and Hong Kong, and has spent over two decades building cross-border legal relationships. Most recently, Nigel has enjoyed success as an entrepreneur, co-founding Peregrine Law, which was sold to Nexa in 2020. Nigel was CEO of Nexa for four years and remains a non-executive director of that firm. Nigel also sits on several public and private boards in Australia and the UK.

Nigel will support Hall & Wilcox's International strategy, which focuses on deepening ties with overseas law firms.

Hall & Wilcox's Chief Executive Partner Graydon Dowd commented that the appointment marks a significant step in Hall & Wilcox's international growth strategy. 'Hall & Wilcox is focused on providing a seamless global service to our Australian-based clients, as well as to prospective overseas-based clients looking to do business in Australia.

'Nigel will work with us to build targeted, high-value relationships with firms and influencers in key markets. This will ensure our clients receive the best experience globally and will further support Hall & Wilcox's current position as a leading Australian firm for inbound cross-border matters.'

Oliver Jankowsky, Head of Hall & Wilcox's International Practice, said 'We're excited to have Nigel on board and look forward to the momentum he'll bring to our global engagement strategy. Our strategy brings together our international networks, sector expertise and people to help clients grow, invest and succeed across borders.'

Nigel commented about the appointment, saying 'I've been an admirer of Hall & Wilcox's strategy, ambitions and progress over some years now and it's been great to spend time recently with Graydon and Oliver as well as with Chris Brown (Hall & Wilcox's head of UK practice) and other members of the firm's senior management. I think we're a good fit and see the world and the opportunities in a similar way. I'm excited to get started with Hall & Wilcox.'
