James Crowe has joined NRF’s national corporate and M&A team, effective this week. Mr Crowe brings with him expertise in the technology, telecommunications, infrastructure and agribusiness sectors, having acted on behalf of clients such as Telstra, Murray Goulburn and Asciano.
“James’ appointment comes at an important time for our firm, which is investing in its national corporate and M&A offering at the same time as we are increasing our pipeline of innovative products and services in collaboration with our clients," said Norton Rose Fulbright managing partner in Australia Wayne Spanner.
“James’s decades of experience on major deals for the tech and telco industries in particular will be a huge benefit to our clients and our people.”
On his decision to join NRF, Mr Crowe said: “I was attracted to Norton Rose Fulbright because of its focus on the technology sector as an area of strategic importance, together with its commitment to legal innovation”.
“I’m a strong believer in working closely with clients to solve problems, from the largest multinationals to emerging start-ups and entrepreneurs. I’m looking forward to adding my experience to the work already underway at the firm, along with getting involved in its growing portfolio of large-scale corporate and M&A deals,” he said.
