Mr Devlin added: “In considering my return to Australia, it was important for me to choose a firm where I could continue to apply my decades of international experience advising a cross-border and cross-industry client base.

“Norton Rose Fulbright stood out as the ideal place for me to continue my practice as part of Australian and global teams of litigators with a sharp focus on white collar crime, investigations, and class actions.”

And Mr Allman said: “I am proud to have joined the partnership at Norton Rose Fulbright, where I have developed strong professional connections with Australian and international litigation partners in recent years.

“I look forward to continuing to apply my years of experience working on commercial arbitration, trade and investment disputes, and commercial litigation matters for the benefit of our clients.”
