Ms Greenaway joins the firm from Allens, where she has served as a partner for almost one decade, prior to which she was a senior in-house counsel at Shell in Europe and Australia. She brings over 20 years of international experience with a particular focus on oil and gas and LNG, the firm said in a statement, and is a specialist in the energy sector with extensive experience advising on a wide range of project developments, joint ventures and M&A transactions.

Mr Lepere is coming across from Shearman & Sterling in London, where he was a partner. He specialises in corporate and project development in the energy and resources sector, is a “trusted advisor” to mining industry stakeholders and regularly works with management teams and governments on business-critical issues, the firm said.
