Annmarie Lumsden will take up her role as Legal Services Commission director in September, taking over from outgoing director Gabrielle Canny who is leaving after more than a decade.
Lumsden has previously worked in the ACT Attorney-General’s Department, been deputy chief executive and director of criminal law with Legal Aid NSW, and was most recently CEO of Legal Aid NT.
Attorney-General Kyam Maher said Lumsden was appointed after an extensive recruitment process.
“She is a dedicated, experienced lawyer whose commitment to social justice and dedication to the profession earned her a top award from her peers in New South Wales,” he said.
