Corporate and commercial law firm Lowndes Jordan has welcomed a new litigation partner, Alicia Murray.
She joins Lowndes Jordan as a general commercial litigator with specialist expertise in competition and insolvency law. Her appointment follows the elevation of former litigation partner Liz Gellert to the High Court bench, where she was recently sworn in as an associate judge.
Murray brings her more than two decades of experience in commercial litigation. She has advised domestic and multinational businesses on contract disputes, anti-competitive conduct, insolvency issues, director’s duties claims, merger clearances, and financial markets investigations. Her ability to navigate complex issues with clarity and pragmatism aligns well with Lowndes Jordan’s philosophy of delivering high-quality, technically robust advice in a client-centric way.
“Lowndes Jordan has always had a strong reputation and fostered trusted client relationships,” Murray said. “I’m genuinely excited to join a litigation team known for its sharp thinking and results. It’s a privilege to be working alongside such respected colleagues, and I’m looking forward to adding my capabilities while learning from such talented colleagues.”
Murray joins existing litigation partner Karl Stolberger to handle a wide range of challenging commercial litigation.
Stolberger said Murray’s appointment ensured continuity of service and capability for clients. “Alicia is a highly experienced, deeply respected litigator whose expertise reinforces our ability to offer clients specialist legal advice backed by commercial awareness.”
The departing Gellert is not the first Lowndes Jordan partner to have transitioned to the bench. In 2020, Rachel Sussock was also appointed as an associate judge of the High Court. The appointments are notable for a firm of Lowndes Jordan’s boutique size.
“We see judicial appointments out of our practice as a validation of the overall quality of our work. They reflect the kind of lawyering we believe in: clear, principled, and grounded in real-world understanding,” Stolberger said.
For Murray, the partnership was what mattered. “What attracted me to Lowndes Jordan was the clarity of purpose and alignment of values in its people.”
