His practice focuses on major projects and infrastructure, including refineries, petrochemicals, energy and resources, transport and water.
He is also experienced in negotiating and advising on joint ventures, and advising on arbitration and expert determinations.
Late last year, Allion hired another projects principal, Jonathan Simpson, to spearhead the firm’s projects practice in Sydney. The firm also recruited senior associate Rebecca Cifelli to support Mr Simpson from Perth.
