About

Transporting over 250 million tonnes of Australian commodities each year, Aurizon is Australia’s largest rail freight operator and a top 50 Australian Securities Exchange company. Senior vice president and general counsel David Wenck and managing counsel for the corporate legal advisory team, Cathie Day, both joined in 2010. One of their first major successes as a legal team was securing the company’s listing on the ASX in December 2010. They are now joined by associate general counsel Nicola Molloy who joined in 2014 and has a strong history of working in the transportation, trucking and railroad industries. With the company recently announcing its intention to exit its Intermodal business through a combination of closures and sales, the legal team is expected to continue handling Aurizon’s legal affairs with a high level of efficiency and business acumen. They have already assisted Aurizon in signing a binding agreement with a consortium of Pacific National and Linfox to sell its Queensland Intermodal business, and a separate binding agreement with Pacific National to sell its Acacia Ridge Intermodal Terminal.
