The partners are delighted to announce the following promotions which take effect on 1 November 2010:

• Elaine Cheung to Senior Associate
• Joshua Annese to Associate

The promotions recognise the significant and valued contributions which Elaine and Joshua continue to make to the success of Langes+.

The partners of Langes+ also announce that Richard Joice retired from legal practice on 31 October 2010.

Richard joined what was then Lange & Co in 1987 and over the ensuing years he made an enormous contribution to the development of the firm and to the success of its clients. His knowledgeable, prudent and practical support of the credit union movement over such a long time, and through such a period of continuous change, is particularly noteworthy.

Richard was a foundation partner of Langes+ in 2008 and since then he has helped to lay a solid foundation for what is now an innovative firm which operates nationally as specialist provider of legal services to the financial services industry.
