Mullins Lawyers has announced the promotion of two senior lawyers, Juanita Maiden and Rachel Lusis, to Partner – recognising their contributions to their clients and the firm.

Juanita Maiden, a senior commercial lawyer with a career in sports law, and Rachel Lusis, who focuses on estate litigation, bring a wealth of expertise and leadership to Mullins’ growing partnership.

Juanita brings more than 25 years of legal and executive experience with expertise in commercial and succession law and a background in the sports industry.

With both CEO and board experience in the sports and events sectors, Juanita now advises clients on governance, commercial agreements, disputes and tribunal matters alongside Partner John Mullins.

Her promotion was proudly announced by John at the 10th Annual Sports Leaders Luncheon at the Queensland Cricketers’ Club, an event that brings together key figures from the sports industry.

Rachel, a member of Mullins’ Wills and Estates team, has 15 years’ experience.

Holding three law degrees, including a Master of Laws (Applied) majoring in wills and estates, Rachel advises clients on family provision applications, contested probate, superannuation disputes and complex estate administration matters.

She works closely with fellow Partner and succession lawyer Michael Klatt.

Managing Partner Sam McIvor said: “These appointments reflect not only Juanita and Rachel’s technical expertise and commitment to outstanding client service, but also the leadership they demonstrate within our firm and the wider legal profession.
