Corrs promotes 4 new partners in national partnership expansion

The national law firm’s new partners are Ella Pope (projects, Melbourne), Anton Bobenko (corporate, Melbourne), Kate Gill-Herdman (responsible business and ESG, Melbourne), and Philip Hassett (projects, Perth).

Having spent more than 12 years with the firm, Pope was described by Corrs as advising on “some of Australia’s most significant infrastructure projects”, with experience spanning the full life cycle of major projects, including development, procurement, delivery, contract administration, and financing.

Bringing nearly two decades of legal experience to the partnership, Bobenko advises sponsors and investors on private investments, including private investment funds, co-investments, secondary acquisitions and divestments of private investment fund interests, and fund formations.

Gill-Herdman’s practice spans both contentious and advisory work involving business and human rights and ESG matters.

She advises leading Australian and multinational organisations on ESG reporting and disclosure obligations, governance frameworks, and compliance requirements.

Completing the new partner cohort, Hassett has built an extensive practice advising clients on complex infrastructure, energy, resources and real estate projects, with particular expertise in project structuring and negotiating major project documentation.
