Corrs Chambers Westgarth has hired Tim Gordon as a partner in its corporate practice in Sydney to focus on M&A transactions for listed companies, and Australian and international private equity funds, sovereign funds, multi-platform alternative asset managers and superannuation funds.
“We expect Tim to focus on coverage for global PE, domestic and international technology M&A opportunities, and to build on our strong relationships with leading independent firms,” Corrs senior partner and CEO Gavin MacLaren told Asia Business Law Journal.
Maclaren added that he continued to see growth opportunities in the Australian market, in particular in cross-border M&A. Australia’s M&A market had remained buoyant during the past 18 months and the firm had been particularly busy in calendar year 2025, said MacLaren. He noted this drove the need for experienced and senior practitioners to pursue the firm’s growth strategy.
Gordon will join the firm on 25 August from Gilbert + Tobin where he currently serves as the executive partner and head of the corporate advisory group. He is an experienced M&A practitioner with a particular focus on private capital and technology, both of which are growth areas in the Australian market, adds MacLaren.
MacLaren noted Gordon wanted to focus full-time on the M&A market, and this would be his primary role. He would be working with other senior practitioners at Corrs, such as Sandy Mak, the head of corporate practice, said MacLaren.
