A top Sydney lawyer has tragically taken their own life.
The lawyer was an associate with Baker McKenzie, one of the world’s largest international law firms, which has over 300 lawyers in Australia.
A funeral service for the lawyer was held in Sydney earlier this week.
Baker McKenzie Australia’s managing partner Ann-Marie Allgrove said support was being provided to all staff following his death.
‘We are deeply saddened by the passing of our colleague,’ Ms Allgrove said in a statement to media.
‘The firm and all who knew them are deeply mourning this loss.’
‘We have provided onsite support for our staff in the Sydney office and engaged our Employee Assistance Program provider for additional support across all three of our Australian offices.’
The lawyer’s death did not take place at work.
