Bartier Perry appoints two new partners

Bartier Perry has appointed two new lateral partners to its Insurance and Building & Construction teams.

Dust diseases and public liability specialist Lian Chami joins the firm from Turks. She brings over 15 years of experience in law, specialising in dust diseases work and historical liability claims and alternative dispute resolution.

She regularly represents Government clients in multi-party matters in both the common law courts and the Dust Diseases Tribunal.

Construction specialist Matthew Singh joins from Kreisson.

His expertise has resulted in several major Australian construction projects progressing, including large-scale infrastructure, education, commercial, residential, health care and aged care projects.

With experience on both front-end and back-end projects he has advised on the development of some of Australia’s most iconic buildings. Bartier Perry CEO Riana Steyn said both partners brought a strong mix of expertise and energy to their respective practice areas.

“Lian and Matthew are experienced lawyers who have an incredible amount of experience on major matters for partners still in the early stage of their career.

They join growing teams, especially in the building and construction space where we are seeing a significant lift in client demand for our services.”
