“The energy advisory business is to be run as a separate independent business to avoid conflicts of interest, but will work with the law firm,” the statement said.
“This reflects Norton Rose Fulbright’s desire to look at ways in which the depth of services to its clients can be enhanced beyond those traditionally found in a law firm. Simon and Vincent will in the future become senior consultants to the firm.”
Commenting on the launch of the new business, Mr Currie stressed the rapid transformation of the energy sector.
“The energy sector is being transformed. Large energy companies are rebranding and changing their focus,” Mr Currie said.
“New players are entering the sector as it converges with other sectors such as real estate, transport, infrastructure and agriculture.
“With the help of Norton Rose Fulbright’s high-quality, global and Australian energy teams, we will work with companies across the sector and help them thrive in a rapidly changing landscape.”
Norton Rose Fulbright managing partner Wayne Spanner added that the launch of the new business is timely.
“Our firm believes that there is a demand for a more holistic approach to the provision of specialist services to clients and we are very pleased to be able to support this innovative venture, which will allow Simon and Vincent to utilise their extensive market knowledge in new ways, as well as retaining their relationship with Norton Rose Fulbright,” Mr Spanner said.
