Norton Rose Fulbright stands out for its end-to-end offering across the lifespan of major energy transition and renewable energy projects, and is also known for its capabilities in social infrastructure projects. Kevin Arkwright, Alex Whiteside, Luke Van Grieken (in Melbourne) and Steven Choi are the key partners of note for front-end construction and infrastructure delivery mandates. The practice has also been bolstered by several significant recruitments: Ben Bradstreet moved over to the Perth office from King & Wood Mallesons in March 2023, bringing complementary commercial expertise in competitive tenders and bid processes, procurements and contracts, and in August 2023, the firm welcomed construction partners Glen Warwick and David McElveney and special counsel Chloe Blackwell, all from Clyde & Co LLP. All lawyers are based in Sydney unless stated otherwise.
