Globalaw in the news. 

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, McInnes Wilson reflects on the people and principles that have shaped the firm’s journey. Former Managing Director and CEO Paul Tully shares the firm’s story, what makes McInnes Wilson unique, and how Globalaw membership empowers its delivery of strategic and bespoke cross-border legal solutions.

What is the story behind the firm’s founding, evolution and growth?

McInnes Wilson was founded in 1975 by Peter McInnes, who opened a small office on Edward Street in Brisbane, Queensland, with a vision that strong relationships would serve as the foundation for lasting success. A few years later, Peter was joined by John Wilson, and the firm became known as McInnes Wilson.

Starting as a small insurance and property firm in Brisbane, McInnes Wilson has since grown to have offices across six Australian cities with nearly 400 team members and has established itself as a leading national commercial law firm with an expanding international presence.

In 2025, we proudly celebrate our 50th anniversary, marking five decades of legal excellence and trusted client partnerships. Throughout this period of rapid growth, we have maintained a strong alignment to the core values and commitment to genuine client relationships that Mr McInnes embodied at the firm’s founding.  

What are the primary practice areas and/or industries?

McInnes Wilson is a full-service commercial law firm with market-leading expertise across a broad range of practice areas, including corporate and commercial advisory, taxation and structuring, government, health, private client services, commercial litigation, insurance, employment, planning and environment, and construction and property. We provide guidance to clients across diverse industries both nationally and internationally, including through cross-border transactions, dispute resolution and regulatory compliance facilitated by our Globalaw network.

How would you describe the firm’s culture and what makes McInnes Wilson special?

We foster a culture rooted in loyalty, authenticity and a deep respect for our history. Nearly 20% of our employees have been with the firm for over a decade, reflecting our strong sense of belonging and shared purpose. Many of our leaders started their careers with us, and we remain dedicated to nurturing talent and fostering a values-driven workplace. 

McInnes Wilson is proudly independent and distinctly Australian, with a strategic national presence and deep local insight. This allows us to deliver tailored legal solutions with a personal touch. 

How does Globalaw membership add value to McInnes Wilson?

McInnes Wilson has been a proud affiliate of Globalaw since January 2015. Our membership aligns with the network’s commitment to excellence, collaboration and global service delivery, and has played a key role in expanding our international capabilities.

Our firm actively participates in Globalaw initiatives, including regional meetings, practice group collaborations and task forces. Our lawyers contribute to cross-jurisdictional projects and knowledge-sharing forums, reinforcing our international perspective and commitment to global best practices.

Through our Globalaw affiliation, we have successfully handled international matters such as:

• Tokyo: Advised on the purchase of an interest in an Australian insurance company referred by Chuo Sogo Law Office, P.C.
• Germany: Advised on and negotiated a settlement deed for a contract dispute referred by Goehmann Lawyers.
• Indonesia: We continue to act for a client of Bagus Enrico & Partners in its Australian operations, from establishment of the local operations through to assisting with its commercial and property needs.
• England: Advised on employment and workplace relations related matters for a client referred by GunnerCooke.

These collaborations ensure our clients receive seamless, high-quality legal support wherever they operate—an approach that reflects the mindset we have cultivated over five decades.

(June 13, 2025 – Aiya Napa, Cyprus) - Globalaw, a leading network of independent law firms, announces that its charitable arm, the Globalaw Foundation, presented a donation of 6,700€ to Vagoni Agapis during the 2025 Globalaw European, Middle East & Africa Regional Meeting (GLEMEA) held in Aiya Napa, Cyprus. A portion of the donated funds was raised during a silent auction featuring a painting by Athens artist Cornelius Papadimosthenis.

Vagoni Agapis is a Cypriot non-profit that supports families according to their needs, providing food, clothing, financial assistance, and more.

“The Globalaw Foundation chose this organization because it currently provides financial support for six law students in Cyprus and abroad, enabling them to complete their studies by covering accommodation, tuition fees, and living expenses. Without this support, these students would be at risk of dropping out,” said Theodora Chari from Cyprus-based Pelaghias, Christodoulou, Vrachas LLC, the Globalaw member firm that hosted GLEMEA.

Donating to local charities is a fundamental component of Globalaw’s event programming. Representatives from selected nonprofits are also invited to meet and network with Globalaw member firms, enabling them to increase awareness for their organizations and foster continued connections and engagement.

Globalaw is pleased to welcome Cipriani & Werner, P.C., to the network. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Cipriani & Werner, P.C., is a multidisciplinary law firm with over 200 professionals across 18 offices in 10 states and the District of Columbia. The firm has consistently grown since its founding in 1985, and has earned a reputation for providing the highest level of legal representation in areas of products liability, premises liability, medical malpractice, professional malpractice, construction and commercial transportation, as well as employment issues in the areas of workers'​ compensation and discrimination.

For more information, visit www.c-wlaw.com.

Located in Bulgaria, a strategic crossroads between Asia and Europe, Ilieva Voutcheva & Co. Law Firm (IV Law Firm) has provided comprehensive legal services to corporate clients since its founding by managing partners Diliana Ilieva and Rossitsa Voutcheva. As a proud Globalaw member since 2007, the firm has established itself as a key player in the Southeastern European legal market.

"Our country may be small, but it's located in a very tactical position on the Balkan peninsula," explains Rossitsa. "Bulgaria can be considered a gateway to Europe from various directions, including Africa and Asia."

Comprehensive Corporate Legal Services

IV Law Firm specializes in corporate and commercial law, with a team of 12 lawyers offering expertise across multiple practice areas, including:

• Mergers & Acquisitions
• Tax law (both structuring and litigation)
• Real estate and construction
• Medical law
• Energy and natural resources (particularly renewable energy)
• Competition law
• Data protection and GDPR compliance
• Labor law
• Litigation

"Having lawyers specialized in various legal areas allows us to provide comprehensive legal services to our clients," Rossitsa notes. "Our tax expertise makes it even more all-encompassing and thorough."

Litigation Expertise: A Competitive Advantage

IV Law Firm's expertise in litigation distinguishes it from many competitors. The firm’s litigation resources, strength, and professional capabilities provide clients with multi-disciplinary expertise, allowing them to access the services they need all within one firm.

"I’m proud of our skills as litigators," Rossitsa emphasizes. "Most of our big-law competitors prefer not to litigate. It's quite risky and demands significant resources, in terms of people and time involved."

Landmark Real Estate Projects

The firm has established a particularly strong track record in real estate development projects, handling everything from land acquisition to final property sales. One of their flagship projects is Paramount Gardens, a 50,000-square-meter residential and commercial complex in Bulgaria's capital city. The project presented unique challenges, including acquiring land from more than 50 different owners.

"We started from the beginning—structuring the entire transaction with many landowners involved as well as a group of investors," explains Rossitsa. "Various financial and legal interests had to be considered and adjusted.”

The firm's real estate portfolio also includes successful developments in Bulgaria's winter resort areas, including hotels and residences in the famous Bansko ski resort in the Pirin Mountains and Borovets in the Rila Mountains.

A Culture of Growth and Balance

The firm continues to grow, with the recent addition of Mariella Bogdanova-Kostova representing the next generation of legal talent. The firm takes pride in supporting work-life balance and professional development.

"We are very proud of having Mariella," says Rossitsa. "She's young but already rather experienced, both as a lawyer and as a mother, which is also important, and we very much encourage this."

Another point of achievement is that IV Law Firm is a “training law firm,” similar to a “training hospital” featured in one of the most popular medical TV shows. The firm teaches trainees on every case and paper from their first year in university. IV Law Firm attorneys are eager to transfer their perseverance, tolerance, professionalism and love for the profession to those coming behind.

Trusted Connections Through Globalaw

IV Law Firm values the Globalaw network for collaboration, knowledge exchange, professional credibility and instilling client confidence.

"The opportunity to provide an immediate reference to someone you know personally—I think it's invaluable, a precious advantage," Rossitsa says, describing the benefits of Globalaw membership.

This network has repeatedly proven valuable. Recently, Rossitsa was able to quickly connect a 15-year client with a trusted Globalaw colleague regarding a property purchase in the UK.

"It makes you look very good, capable and effective in your client's eyes as well," she notes. "He feels he can call me for everything, and it worked again."

During the meeting, the Globalaw Foundation donated $4,500 USD to KOZU GAKUEN (KOZU), a foster home for children who have experienced abuse, poverty, or whose parents are unable to care for them. This contribution holds special significance for Naoko Nakatsukasa, a partner at Chuo Sogo LPC. Naoko was previously appointed as a guardian for a woman with a mental impairment whose child was placed under the care of KOZU for 20 years and grew up to become a care worker at a hospital in Osaka.

Established nearly 50 years ago in Graz, Austria, hba boasts approximately 40 lawyers across five strategic locations: Graz, Vienna, Klagenfurt, and Eisenstadt, Austria, and Zurich, Switzerland.

Partner Dr. Philipp Spatz, LL.M., Partner Sandra Küng, LL.M., and Associate Mag. Markus Koroschetz spoke with Globalaw about the firm’s regional focus, extensive public sector engagement, and ability to provide top-tier legal services across multiple jurisdictions.

Distinctive Cross-Border Presence

Hba is uniquely positioned as the only Austrian-headquartered law firm with an established Swiss presence. In Switzerland, hba has its main office in Zurich and a notary-focused office in Wil. This cross-border structure offers clients seamless legal services across two key jurisdictions in the German-speaking region of Europe.

Practice Areas & Expertise

Hba offers specialized knowledge across numerous industries, including financial services, healthcare, energy, real estate, retail, manufacturing, technology, and the public sector. The firm’s comprehensive legal services include the following specialized strengths that distinguish it in the market:

• White Collar Crime: Unlike many corporate law firms in Austria, hba maintains a robust white-collar crime practice led by well-connected Partner Johannes Zink, providing access to major Austrian corporations and public sector clients.
• Public Sector Expertise: Austrian and Swiss practices maintain strong public-sector connections. In Austria, hba works extensively with the province of Burgenland, the city of Vienna, and the Austrian Attorney General’s Office.
• Corporate & Transactional Practice: The firm handles large corporate transactions, including the high-volume sale of real estate by a prominent Austrian furniture retailer and numerous acquisitions for a leading European tofu company. The Swiss practice recently managed a high-profile acquisition involving The Migros Group, one of the largest retailers in the country.

Supporting Professional Development

Hba offers its associates diverse exposure to different areas of law rather than immediate specialization. This approach provides associates with comprehensive training across multiple practice areas, better preparing them for the bar exam while fostering professional development. The firm also provides year-round law student positions and summer internships.

Leveraging Globalaw’s International Network

As a member of Globalaw, hba leverages this flexible network to serve clients in cross-border matters while maintaining independence. Recent collaborations include working with network members in Germany and the Netherlands on acquisition transactions for Austrian clients. This international capability, combined with their local expertise in Austria and Switzerland, positions hba to deliver sophisticated legal services with regional insight and global reach.

This was followed by sessions led by Carlos R. Cobian, Founder & CEO of Cobian Media LLC & Gravital Agency, addressing social media strategies for lawyers, and Jim Cochran of Cochran Client Development, a leading global consultant, speaking on business development. The meeting offered members practical and strategic insights into social media, business development, corporate governance, and an overview of the political and economic outlook in the Americas region.

During a separate track of the meeting, 16 Managing Partners from across the Americas (and Europe) convened for a Leadership Summit. Guided by Jim Cochran, a leading global business development consultant, and Eduardo Arroyo, a top business coach and strategic planner, the Managing Partners focused on law firm success and providing effective client service, beginning with the health and focus of their leadership.  In the words of EDGE Legal, “The summit reinforced how our global partnerships provide unparalleled reach for our clients, combining local expertise with an international perspective.” 

Last but certainly not least, Globalaw continued its tradition of raising funds through the Globalaw Foundation to support a local charity. The highly successful auction of a piece of art created by renowned Puerto Rican artist Jorge Zeno enabled the Foundation to donate $15,000 to Fundacion Banco Popular.

The Banco Popular Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life for Puerto Ricans by promoting access to educational and self-management opportunities that foster excellence, ethics, and civic responsibility. Since 1979, the foundation has invested over $50 million in community impact projects and supported over 300 initiatives focused on education, community development, social investment and disaster response.

"I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Globalaw for their generous donation to our Foundation. It is incredibly motivating to know that we have the support of this organization as we work to fulfill our mission of improving the quality of life for Puerto Ricans through educational and community development initiatives. On behalf of the thousands of people impacted by our programs, thank you,” said Beatriz Polhamus, Banco Popular Foundation’s Executive Director.

Fields of Joy is dedicated to promoting and safeguarding the mental health of children and youth in Puerto Rico. Established in memory of Dr. Joy Lynn Suárez-Kindy, a pioneer in the fight against bullying and cyberbullying, the foundation focuses on education, raising awareness, and eliminating the stigma surrounding mental health. Through various initiatives and collaborations, Fields of Joy strives to enhance the emotional well-being of young people and ensure they have access to the care they need.
