Stuart Clague also comes from CCW after 14 years’ worth of experience in the resources sector. He started in E&R as a senior associate and then worked as a special counsel advising on a range of transactions, including M&A, joint ventures, transport and infrastructure arrangements and commodity sales arrangements. Mr Clague also has extensive experience in drafting and negotiating long-term high-value rail haulage and track access arrangements. He has advised Aurizon on a number of significant rail infrastructure projects.
Both Mr Adkins and Mr Clague are based in Johnson Winter & Slattery’s Brisbane office.
JWS managing partner Peter Slattery said these two appointments will strengthen the firm’s corporate and resources practices nationally as well as further develop the firm’s Brisbane office.
“Our energy and resources practice is one of the largest and most widely experienced in Australia,” Mr Slattery said.
“Bruce and Stuart’s experience in the coal and energy sectors will broaden the range of capabilities within the team and better position us to assist clients investing in resources projects, whether that be by way of M&A activity or greenfield developments.”
