The practice at Allens, which works out of offices across the country, is described by one client as a ‘strong client-focused team’ with a ’good mixture of experience and fresh perspective.’ Kate Axup and Igor Bogdanich lead the team, focusing on oil as well as gas and mining, respectively. On the mining side, the group often acts for major domestic and international mining companies, and on the oil and gas side, the practice regularly assists clients with key operational agreements such as JOAs. Elsewhere in the team, Richard Malcolmson has a quarter of a century’s experience advising Australian and international businesses on a range of transactions in the natural resources space. Jodi Reinmuth is also a key name, and often appears in project finance matters, another area of expertise for the group.
