He brings, the firm said in a statement, over 30 years of experience in property transactions and development and is “a recognised expert” on structuring property developments involving mixed uses, shared facilities and multiple stages.

Mr Nugent will be based in the firm’s Brisbane office.

The news follows the firm’s appointment of a projects partner in its Perth office in late June and its promotion of 26 lawyers to more senior roles in mid-June.

Speaking about the firm’s newest partner, Piper Alderman managing partner Tony Britten-Jones said: “Peter is a highly respected and skilled practitioner within the Queensland and national property industry. His expertise and approach strongly complement Piper Alderman’s current offerings and capabilities.

“By welcoming Peter to our team, we further reinforce our growth strategy for the national real estate team, building on the recent addition of partners John Wu in Melbourne, as well as Marcus Andrews and Paul Vergotis in Sydney.”
