Norton Rose Fulbright has poached a Clayton Utz construction partner in Perth and an employment law specialist in Melbourne.
Employment lawyer Helene Lee has worked in private practice and in-house, including roles at Corrs Chambers Westgarth, Harmers Workplace Lawyers, Telstra and, most recently, Workforce Advantage.
In Perth, NRF has appointed Adrienne Parker to its construction and major projects partnership.
Parker’s expertise lies in traditional procurement, alliance or public private partnership, and large-scale disputes in the construction, engineering and resources space.
Earlier this year, NRF nabbed Sydney-based insurance partner Ray Giblett from Gadens and energy & resources partner Keira Brennan from Clayton Utz in Brisbane.
Brennan and Parker are among a number of other partners who have left Clutz in 2014.
In June alone the firm lost two more partners: Perth-based energy & resources partner John King and infrastructure partner Angus Foley in Sydney.
Clutz also dropped highly-regarded energy and resources partner Darren Fooks, who resigned from the partnership in April to spearhead Baker & McKenzie’s new Brisbane office; in February, the firm lost Sydney-based banking & finance partner Paul Gatward to HWL Ebsworth.
