I specialise in transactions involving the procurement, construction, funding and sale of energy and infrastructure assets, with a particular focus on renewable energy projects. I also regularly advise various departments of the Commonwealth and Victorian governments, as well as corporates and educational institutions, on a range of public procurements, policy issues and research projects.
