Greg Williams leads the ‘exceptional’ commercial litigation team at Clayton Utz; fielding expertise on matters from regulatory investigations to anti-bribery and corruption issues, the team operates across Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, where Williams is based. Matthew Spain joined the team in Melbourne from DLA Piper in May 2023, bringing his superannuation specialism and regulatory expertise to bolster the team’s existing financial services strength. In Sydney, Ross McInnes works with clients navigating major mass consumer litigation, alongside crisis management and commercial disputes more widely. Tim Donisi is a key name in Perth: having risen to partner in July 2023, he specialises in high-stakes oil and gas disputes as well as insurance disputes. Also in Perth, David Benson is recommended for his ’deep experience’.
