Clyde & Co Announces Jenny Thornton’s Return As Managing Partner
Clyde & Co has announced the return of Jenny Thornton as the Managing Partner of its Perth office, a move aimed at driving the global law firm’s strategic growth in Australia.
Simon McConnell, Chair of the APAC Board and Partner at Clyde & Co in Hong Kong, emphasized the firm’s robust plans for expansion in the Australian market. He noted, “Our key sectors align well with the Australian economy and its evolving regulatory landscape. Jenny’s extensive experience and connections are crucial to our growth strategy for the Western Australian market and beyond.”
Jenny Thornton originally established Clyde & Co’s Perth office in 2012, serving as its Managing Partner until her departure in 2017 to join Quayside Chambers. Her previous experience includes roles as a partner in the commercial litigation departments of Parker & Parker, Freehills (now Herbert Smith Freehills), and Allens Arthur Robinson (now Allens).
Thornton’s return is expected to strengthen Clyde & Co’s expansion efforts in Perth and across its core sectors, including insurance, aviation, energy, marine, and projects and construction. Her responsibilities will also include global disputes, regulatory matters, investigations, and corporate and advisory practice groups.
This appointment comes on the heels of Clyde & Co’s recent promotion of 27 lawyers this year.
