Lawyers Weekly has featured Megan Jongebloed, Cowell Clarke’s Chair and Corporate & Commercial Director, in an article titled "From junior lawyer to chair: Lessons in leadership and growth".
In the article, Megan shares her leadership journey, reflecting on the experiences, challenges and opportunities that have shaped her career over the past 18 years. She also discusses the importance of building strong relationships, embracing growth and developing future leaders.
A snapshot of the article introduction:
When Jongebloed joined Cowell Clarke as an associate in 2008, the firm was a modest 60-person practice operating out of a single Adelaide office. Nearly 20 years later, her rise to chair has coincided with a period of significant growth and transformation for the firm.
On the heels of her reappointment as chair, Jongebloed told Lawyers Weekly she would have never seen herself as a partner or at the director level when she first started, “but the culture, the people, the client relationships [are] where I saw the opportunity.”
Jongebloed progressed from director to staff director, and then to chair in 2023, during a career that has been defined by her strong commitment to the firm’s people, collaboration with an “awesome team”, and a desire to maintain client relationships.
