Operating across the natural resources sector, Corrs Chambers Westgarth’s integrated project development and project finance capabilities enable the team to offer specialised advice across the full remit of sectors, particularly matters relating to critical minerals and late-life metallurgical coal. At the helm of the practice, Perth-based Tracey Greenaway specialises in advising on project development transactions in the gas sector. Russell Philip is noted for the depth of his expertise in equity raisings, takeovers and schemes of arrangement within the mining sector, while Anthony Lepere is particularly impressive in advising on cross-border, multi-jurisdictional joint ventures and project developments. Christian Owen is a key contact for companies and private equity clients seeking fund raising and governance counsel. Franka Cheung frequently acts on behalf of trade sellers and buyers, and equity investors in the mining sector. The team was also strengthened in June 2025 by the arrival of commercial and investment arbitration expert Jo Feldman, who joined the firm from Norton Rose Fulbright as head of trade.
