Among the strong client base at Norton Rose Fulbright are domestic and international banks as well as global energy companies. The group has an ever-increasing presence in the market, and Kate Muller joined from DLA Piper in August 2022, bolstering the group’s ability to help both financiers and sponsors with energy and infrastructure projects. Syndey-based Lisa Koch runs the team and is well supported by senior associate Justin Goushas. Standout recent mandates for the team are high-value infrastructure and PPP projects, and Rob White is often called upon by clients for these matters.
