We are very pleased to announce the appointments of Megan Roberts in Auckland and Joe Scarcella in Sydney as partners of Webb Henderson, with effect from 1 January 2025.
Joe practices in the areas of litigation, competition and consumer law, and corporate regulation. He has worked on a range of complex commercial disputes and large multi-party litigation matters in the Federal Court of Australia and the Supreme Courts of NSW and Victoria. He has also undertaken a number of large regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings both for and against government regulators, including the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). Joe is another ‘home-grown’ partner, having first joined the firm full time as a graduate lawyer, working at Webb Henderson throughout his career.
Megan joined the firm in January 2019, after returning from working overseas, and has been a key member of our Auckland corporate team since that time. She was previously promoted to Counsel in January 2023. Megan advises clients on the full range of corporate transactions and advice including mergers and acquisitions, joint venture and limited partnership arrangements, corporate governance matters, and commercial contracts. In addition to her specialist expertise in capital markets (including IPOs), Megan advises leading corporates, private equity firms and private business owners on their most important strategic projects and transactions.
It is a pleasure to welcome Joe and Megan to the partnership.
