Lombardi Partners

Our Lombardi Women team were thrilled to return to Macquarie Group’s Melbourne office for an updated session on budgeting, investment, and superannuation. Thank you to Sarah Robinson (Private Banker) for hosting and to Isabelle Dowling (Private Banker) for the insightful presentation.
Another fantastic morning spent learning and connecting with an amazing group of women.

One of Lombardi Partners’ core values is EXCELLENCE, and what better testament to our team living this value than being recognised once again in the AFR’s Top 100 Accounting Firms. Our rise from #80 last year reflects the commitment to excellence that our team bring to everything we do. Congratulations, team – you deserve it!

Wellbeing at work is more than fancy perks (though we do love our Life@Lombardi social calendar 😄). It’s also about how we look after ourselves — and each other — every day.

Yesterday, some of our team jumped into the “Nourish Me” workshop with meal prep legends Delia and Ronnit from Better Together Kitchen. Think healthy eating made quick, easy, and actually doable on a busy schedule.

We walked away with practical tips, fresh ideas, and a few new go-to meals for real life. Big thanks to Delia and Ronnit for nourishing us — in every sense!

A huge congratulations to Trevor Dymond, Partner on reaching an incredible milestone – 25 years as a Chartered Accountant with Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand!

Your dedication, expertise and commitment to excellence have been invaluable to our clients, our team, and the profession as a whole. We’re proud to celebrate this achievement with you and grateful for the leadership you bring every day.

Here’s to the next chapter of success!

We’re thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievements of 11 of our team members who have been promoted! These well-deserved promotions recognise each individual’s outstanding effort, contribution and unwavering commitment to our clients, our team, and our values. Congratulations to each of you – we couldn’t be more excited to support you in your respective next career steps.

Great to get some of the team together yesterday to discuss what makes a great client experience.
Hearing the different stories from each team member and drawing out the actions that lead to a positive experience was rewarding and reconfirming.
We were able to have a few laughs during the workshop while learning from each other.

The Bendel Decision is a hot topic in our industry at the moment!

Last night our team had the opportunity to attend an expert panel discussion by Sladen Legal covering Division 7A, anti-avoidance and beyond.

Pictured are some of our Partners, Trevor Dymond, Andrew Duncan and Mechelle Lughermo, with panellist and Principal, Neil Brydges, who hosted an extremely informative discussion with expert panel Daniel Smedley (Principal), Kaitlin Lowdon (Principal Lawyer) and Edward Hennebry (Special Council).

The festive season is upon us!

Rochelle Ciccone and Mechelle Lughermo were delighted to be guests of the KHQ Lawyers Garden Party last week, held at the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens, The Terrace.

It was great to catch up with Monica Blizzard (KHQ Director) and meet Clementina Maione (Principal Solicitor) [pictured].

Mechelle Lughermo, Partner, together with Pam Lamaro (client of Lombardi Partners) were thrilled to attend the Westpac Private Banking Team's wine appreciation event held on 21 November. Pictured here with Alexander Sexton (Westpac- Private Executive) and Mia Keem, Westpac - Head of Private Wealth Victoria), Mechelle and Pam learned about the history of various iconic wine families in Australia from Wine Educator and Director of Penali Cellar, George Samios. It was an evening not to be missed for all wine connoisseurs.
