Minter Ellison’s international team on the transaction was led by Sydney-based partner Daniel Marks and included Roger Corkery, Rhiannon Chisholm, Renae Suttor and Matt Wilson (Sydney); Nigel Clark and Sally Bell (London); Lis Ellis and Kelvin Ng (Hong Kong), and Kate Lane, Andrew Ryan and Anna Campbell (Auckland).

Partners Brad Vann, Marko Misko and Doug Jones are the firm’s lead lawyers advising SEITA, the Victorian government body responsible for delivering the project, which is set to be one of Australia’s largest urban freeways.

The project is scheduled for completion in 2008.
