BigLaw firm MinterEllison has appointed a new partner – who was formerly based in Dubai with Reed Smith – for its infrastructure, construction and property practice.
Simon Harvey, who spent the last six years in the United Arab Emirates with Reed Smith LLP, has moved to Sydney to take up a role with the ICP practice at MinterEllison.
Speaking about the appointment, Minter lead ICP partner Peter Wood said: “We are delighted Simon chose to join our leading construction practice. He brings with him a true international lens on infrastructure and construction projects, and network of international contacts.
“His expertise in the emerging and renewable energy space, including hydro-power, gas-to-energy and wind farms, has already resonated with many current and prospective clients.
“Coupled with his project finance experience, his construction expertise further strengthens the existing ICP team.”
Mr Harvey added: “MinterEllison has a market-leading infrastructure and construction team, and a strong reputation in the energy and resources industry. It is a forward thinking and innovative firm known for its integrity, excellent advice, trusted client relationships, and people-oriented culture. These are very attractive attributes for a senior lawyer returning to the Australian legal market after a period away.
“Going forward, there are vast opportunities for clients around renewable and clean energy as Australia transitions to a low carbon economy. Together with the existing team, we are in a good position to advise clients on how they navigate regulatory and commercial complexities, including their ESG responsibilities.”
