On the 26 July 2023, Lovegrove and Cotton celebrated the firm’s 30 year journey with fellow travellers, clients current and past, and close friends and associates.
The occasion also signified the “passing of the torch”, with Ziggy Lovegrove and Justin Cotton assuming the mantle of leadership for decades to come.
Over the past 30 years, Lovegrove and Cotton has garnered a reputation as a preeminent Australian construction law firm. The firm’s reputation and legacy is built on heritage and expertise in construction law which is gaining momentum.
The event also afforded Justin and Ziggy the opportunity to explain how some of those within the firm have contributed to law reform in Australia and internationally for nigh on three decades; whether it be through the deployment of some of those within it in high level law reform initiatives with the World Bank, State and Territory governments, or the Chairing of international thought leadership hubs, such as the International Building Quality Centre.
There has also been commitment to Africa as Lovegrove and Cotton sponsored the Ethiopian Consulate to Victoria and allowed Kim to go offline to serve as Honorary Consul and Ziggy as a Consular Attaché.
It would be remiss of us to neglect the opportunity to say thank you to members of the Victorian Bar and the building consultancy fraternity that provide a vital role in best practice client service ecology. We took this opportunity to express our gratitude.
The below collage captures the current, the future and the past and a trip down memory lane.
