Andrew Clarke—Executive
Andrew Clarke, currently the marketing manager at Aitken Partners, had an interesting path to his current destination. He has held several jobs, having paid his way through university as an umpire, his first job being as a sports writer at an Australian Football publication in the 1980s, and then working at various levels in and around sports, including coaching with the Pakistan Shaheens and the Caulfield Bears where he also served as Club President. He also co-authored the autobiography of former professional Australian rules footballer Matthew Lloyd, who played for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Aitken Partners is a premium level Melbourne-based law firm offering a range of legal services to business, private clients, not-for-profits and the Australian Federal Government and its agencies. “We have lawyers who are accredited specialists in family law, commercial tenancy, workplace relations, commercial litigation, tax law, wills and estates, and property law,” says Clarke.
He adds that the Aitken Partners advantage runs much deeper than merely this level of expertise. “It is about our commitment to providing commerciality in our advice to clients; about genuine partner access but not to the exclusion of other lawyers who may be more appropriate for a given task. Our approach is designed to ensure our clients receive value for money.”

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
