Legal firm Norton White has expanded its ranks of aviation and transport experts with the appointment of a former chief legal officer from Toll Group.

The law practice, which specialises in transport and aviation law, said on Tuesday Adam Martin would join Norton White as a partner and work in its mergers and acquisitions practice, as well as contribute to the firm’s future strategic direction.

Senior partner Mark Mackrell said Martin, who was based in Melbourne, would broaden the firm’s capabilities and service offerings for existing clients.

Further, it would give the firm the opportunity to expand.

“Adam is extremely accomplished and his extensive international and domestic experience, particularly in M&A, asset and share sales and competition law will be beneficial to our clients,” Mackrell said in a statement on Tuesday.
