Boutique corporate and commercial law firm Watsons Lawyers has strengthened its credentials with experienced lawyer Sally Glover joining the firm as a Partner.
Having commenced her career in Adelaide, Sally has gained extensive experience working interstate and with international companies as in-house counsel.
“We’re delighted to have Sally join our team. Sally is a great fit with who we are and what we stand for,” says Watsons Lawyers founding partner, Peter Watson.
“Sally understands the importance of really getting to know how a business operates in order to provide advice which is relevant, practical and understandable at all levels within an organisation. She also appreciates the need to ‘think outside the square’ to find appropriate solutions to problems,” Peter explains.
Most recently, Sally was working as General Counsel and Company Secretary for wine producer, Constellation Australia Limited and as Legal Director for pharmaceutical company, Pfizer Australia. Her expertise encompasses contracts, intellectual property, mergers, acquisitions and divestments, executive employment and trade practices.
“At Watsons Lawyers, I have the opportunity to apply my skills and experience to partner with businesses of all sizes to help them meet their strategic objectives,” Sally explains.
“Working as General Counsel for two major US-based multi-national companies in very different industries has helped me understand problems from the client’s perspective.”
Sally says she was attracted to the business model and culture of the firm, with values strongly aligning to her own.
“Watsons Lawyers’ philosophy is to partner with clients, be relevant to their needs by providing practical, commercial legal solutions, and to be transparent to clients in everything it does. I couldn’t think of a philosophy better aligned to my background, experience and goals,” Sally says.
Watsons Lawyers has established an excellent reputation for providing strategic, practical, commercial legal advice, particularly in the resources sector. Sally’s intention is to take the same approach with clients in other sectors and, in particular, leverage her experience in the pharmaceutical, wine, manufacturing, transport and logistics industries.
Based in Adelaide, Watsons Lawyers is a boutique firm doing top-end corporate and commercial work for local, interstate and international clients.
