Mr King will take the role of senior legal consultant in Minter Ellison’s Perth office, having previously been a partner at Clayton Utz and Corrs Chambers Westgarth before that.
Minter Ellison's resources, agriculture and energy industry leader Simon Scott said: “We're delighted to welcome a lawyer of John's calibre to our international energy team to spearhead the practice in the Perth office. The oil and gas industry is a key driver of our economy – by 2020, it is projected to put almost $65 billion annually into the Australian economy and account for 3.5 per cent of GDP.”
He added: “John's international energy experience and oil and gas focus are particularly valuable given the long-term structural importance of this industry to Australia, and especially in a resource-rich state such as Western Australia.”
Minter Ellison also added senior property lawyer Adrian Rich to their Brisbane office as a special counsel recently.
