Insurance law firm Gilchrist Connell (GC) has appointed Yvonne Lam, a corporate insurance and insurtech specialist, as principal and head of corporate insurance and insurtech.
Lam (pictured) has experience in the Australian insurance and insurtech sectors, having worked on an advisory basis for domestic and international insurers, reinsurers, and insurance intermediaries.
Lam’s expertise extends to the establishment of operations, regulatory licensing and distribution, corporate governance and restructures, mergers and acquisitions, and regulatory investigations.
Her other areas of interest include assisting clients with financial services licencing requirements and obligations, product development, distribution and agency agreements, compliance frameworks, and portfolio transfers.
“Yvonne joins the firm during a time of significant legislative and regulatory change, with increasing demand and pressure on our clients to ensure sound governance and compliance with regulatory reform. We are very pleased to have Yvonne on board,” said GC managing principal Richard Wood.
Last month, GC promoted two special counsels, five senior associates, and five associates.
