Her unique experience advising on some of Australia’s most significant antitrust and competition issues will benefit our clients in Australia.

“In particular, she will be an incredible asset to our corporate practice, which has rapidly expanded over the last few years and now numbers seven partners focusing on advising financial investor clients on an array of corporate transactions.”

The firm’s global co-head of antitrust, Marc Besen, added: “Australia is a key jurisdiction shaping antitrust and competition developments elsewhere in the world. Elizabeth will bring in-depth market expertise to our growing international practice, which has built an exceptional reputation providing seamless antitrust advice across a range of areas, including global merger control, antitrust investigations and litigation, as well as foreign investment.”
