Charles Bogle and James Wood have joined Jones Day in its Sydney office and will be part of the global firm’s corporate practice. The pair have joined from Hogan Lovells, which – as reported last September – has exited the Australian market.
Bogle, Jones Day outlined in a statement, advises clients on complex and innovative M&A transactions, with a strong focus on working with financial investors, including private equity funds, infrastructure investors, and foreign direct investments for some of Australia’s largest funds, while Wood advises private capital participants on a broad range of private equity and funds transactions, and counsels private equity houses and financial institutions on funds-related matters.
Speaking about the hires, Jones Day’s Australian partner-in-charge, Christopher Lovrien, said: “We continue to grow our transactional capabilities in Australia as part of the strategic plan we implemented last year, and we believe our clients will be excited to work with Charles and James.
“They both have a deep understanding of the market in Australia and significant experience advising corporate and financial clients here in Australia and on cross-border deals across the world.”
The firm’s corporate co-lead, Andy Levine, said: “Charles and James are both highly accomplished lawyers with experience advising on some of the most significant corporate transactions in Australia over the past two decades.
“This depth of experience in M&A, private equity, and capital markets deals will be a tremendous asset to our clients and an important enhancement to our depth of capabilities in the Australasia region. I am delighted to welcome these lawyers to Jones Day.”
Bogle said: “I am excited to become part of Jones Day’s corporate practice, which includes hundreds of M&A and private equity lawyers worldwide who work together to help clients achieve their business objectives.”
Wood said: “Jones Day is globally renowned for its excellence in advising on corporate transactions, and the firm has more than 25 years [of] serving the Australian market. I look forward to working alongside my new colleagues here in Australia and worldwide.”
