Michelle Power
I am the Managing Partner – Markets at MinterEllison, a leading Australian law firm. In this role, I'm responsible for the firm's client retention and growth strategies, markets programs and continually improving our clients' experience. Since my appointment to this role in 2019, I have been responsible for MinterEllison's industry program implementation and development. My responsibilities as Managing Partner - Markets are combined with continuing to actively work with a range of clients as a Dispute Resolution partner. My skills as a dispute resolution lawyer have been recognised in Best Lawyers (Alternative Dispute Resolution, Litigation, Government Practice), Legal 500 and Doyle's Guide. I joined MinterEllison as a graduate and was appointed as a partner in 2001. I hold a degree in Economics and an Honours degree in Law from Monash University. As the first female partner in MinterEllison's dispute resolution group in Melbourne, I actively support diversity in the workplace. I'm also passionate about opportunities for regional areas and their residents, having been born and bred in country Victoria and lived regionally for over 15 years.
