Australia’s largest legal partnership, HWL Ebsworth, is on the lookout for a new chief executive partner after the sudden resignation of Russell Mailler.

Mailler gave his notice last week and will leave in April, which HWLE chairman Jamie Restas confirmed on Thursday after inquiries by Capital Brief.

“Chief Executive Partner Russell Mailler has provided us with notice of his intention to retire from the partnership and pursue other opportunities.

“Over the last 14 years, Russell has made a significant contribution to the firm and played an instrumental role in building the firm’s profile and delivering a successful transition of our governance model and leadership function.
