Sparke Helmore has added four new partners in Australian locations, including Melbourne’s Jehan Mata from the law firm’s Commercial Insurance practice.

The other three new partners are Perth-based Ian Bennett from the Workplace practice, Sydney-based Catherine Morton from the Environment & Planning practice, and Newcastle-based Andrew Ferguson from the Property practice.

“They are all exceptionally talented lawyers, recognised as leaders in their respective areas,” National Managing Partner Andrew White said.

Ms Mata, who leads Sparke Helmore’s cyber insurance practice, works with insurers and corporations on a wide range of general liability claims.

She has a strong background in professional indemnity, professional negligence, casualty line and health law claims.
