Aitken Partners is pleased to announce the appointment of Sarah Ward as a Principal Lawyer. Sarah is an Accredited Specialist in Commercial Tenancy Law and has been with Aitken Partners since moving to Melbourne 8 years ago.
Her practice includes a mix of property and commercial law together with her specialised work in commercial tenancy law. Sarah’s practice compliments other departments of the firm, including property, commercial, compulsory acquisition, banking and finance and the litigation teams.
“Sarah is an outstanding lawyer with great skills in client management and building relationships. She has always taken an active role mentoring junior lawyers and that leadership is something we are looking for when making these appointments,” said Ed Clark, one of the firm’s senior Principal Lawyers.
“What I value at Aitken Partners is that it is genuinely a great place to work,” Sarah said. “After moving from Queensland, my colleagues at Aitken Partners made me feel so welcome that I have made Melbourne my permanent home. I enjoy the quality of the work I have been involved in, and the ability to expand my skills and knowledge with further qualifications such as the commercial tenancy specialisation. I have essentially been allowed to build my own niche practice at Aitken Partners within extremely knowledgeable property and commercial teams.”
Sarah’s appointment brings the number of Principal Lawyers at the firm to 12 and Aitken Partners welcomes Sarah to the leadership team.
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.

• 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
