Big Moves: Kristina Dunne is our newest Principal!

We’re thrilled to announce that Kristina Dunne has been promoted to Principal at Haigh Lyon.

If you’ve worked with Kristina over the last five years, you know this wasn't just a "matter of time" - it was earned through relentless dedication and a sharp expertise. From being named a Doyles Rising Star to becoming a powerhouse within our family law team, Kristina has consistently proven that she is a force to be reckoned with.

At Haigh Lyon, we don't just value legal expertise; we value the heart and grit Kristina brings to her clients every single day. We’re incredibly proud to have her in our leadership ranks and can’t wait to see the impact she continues to make.

Join us in raising a glass (or a coffee!) to Kristina. We’re behind you all the way!

Haigh Lyon is proud to support our director Shaun McGivern who is gearing up to run the Tokyo Marathon. This will be his fourth marathon as part of his quest to complete the prestigious Big 6 marathons. We're incredibly proud of Shaun's dedication and commitment to this challenge.

This year, Shaun is running to raise funds for UNHCR, an organization that works tirelessly to bring the joy and purpose of sport to refugee children. They provide much-needed equipment, facilities, and coaching to help these children find solace and happiness through sports.

The race kicks off on Sunday, March 2nd, and we wish Shaun all the best on this incredible journey.
