Norton Rose Fulbright‘s mining group garners praise for its ’availability and competency‘. The team’s workload includes project finance matters, corporate finance, acquisitions and regulatory issues. Michael Dale regularly acts for prominent international and local mining houses in mandates, and is equally adept at assisting clients from the construction and upstream petroleum industries with mining-related work. Dale co-leads the practice with M&A expert Christina Pretorius. Andre Vos is a key name for mining litigation, and Andrea Cabanac brings experience in compliance matters in the sector.
