I look forward to contributing towards the growth of the firm, and to providing the high-quality support and representation our clients need to flourish.”

To help us do this, we’re committed to the steady growth of our firm by attracting and appointing the right team of experts. As such, we hope to be able to announce two more appointments shortly.

“With plans to increase the number of partners at Athena to 10 over the next two years, we believe this sustainable approach to growth will not only meet the needs and expectations of our clients but will also create an infrastructure that works for our partners.
