Heading up the Melbourne office is Ben Myers (pictured), who was previously head of MRA Search’s Hong Kong base. Myers has spent the past 12 years in Hong Kong building the firm’s footprint in Asia after joining the executive recruiter in 2010, shortly after the company began. He relocated from London to Hong Kong in 2013 as MRA’s first person on the ground in Asia.

Myers specialises in partner and associate searches for leading US/UK/global law firms across the Asia Pacific region.

The move marks a further intention of global expansion for MRA Search, alongside a recently opened office in New York earlier this year, and the company’s existing offices in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Milan and Frankfurt.

MRA Search Australia is located at Level 21, 567 Collins Street, Melbourne, 3000.
