Fox and Thomas is pleased to announce the appointment of Melissa Fitzpatrick as a director of the firm effective 1 July 2008.

Melissa’s practice is based in Brisbane where she started with the firm as an associate when that office opened in early 2007.  She has extensive experience in a wide variety of corporate services including business sales, corporate reconstructions and industrial relations.

As many of the firm’s existing clients broaden their operations beyond agribusinss, they are increasingly likely to benefit from the experience that Melissa brings to the firm.

Managing director Norman Fox said the appointment is recognition - not just of Melissa’s outstanding talent as a lawyer and her exceptional client service - but also the show of faith she made in joining a firm which at that time did not have a Brisbane presence.  “Eighteen months on and the office, now with 2 directors, 2 other solicitors and 3 support staff, has gone from strength to strength in attracting and retaining a wide variety of work”, Mr Fox said.

Melissa joins existing directors Norman Fox, Kay Rhodes, Michael Cowley and Paul Paxton-Hall.
