The Brief:
MinterEllison has promoted 7 new partners effective 1 July 2026, down from 12 last year.
The cohort spans M&A, disputes, infrastructure and tax.
MinterEllison has named seven new partners effective 1 July 2026, covering M&A/Capital Markets, Dispute Resolution, Infrastructure, Construction and Projects, and Tax.
The new partners are:
Samantha Crichton, Family Office and Private Wealth, Sydney
Daniel Bell, Hotels and Hospitality M&A, Melbourne
Hannah Dixon, Real Estate M&A, Melbourne
Anne Crittall, Commercial Disputes and Regulatory Litigation, Brisbane
William Nolan, Commercial Disputes and Class Actions, Sydney

Managing Partner and CEO Virginia Briggs said:
“Our clients need excellent advisers who are invested in their industry, who bring clarity and independent judgement under pressure, and who are ahead of how technology is changing the way complex problems should be solved. Our seven new partners demonstrate our commitment to being that excellent adviser.”
This year’s promotion round is leaner than last year’s 12. Across town, the trend is running the other way. Many top-tier firms are increasing partner promotions, like Allens and Mallesons, which both doubled their promotion rounds in 2026.
