Corporate executive partner Paul Quinn said Counsell would bring extensive global project experience to Allens, particularly in the mining, oil and gas sectors.
"Debra's international experience and direct knowledge of Asia through her time in Vietnam fits with the clients we're working with who are looking for a regional and global perspective, along with local insight," said Quinn.
"We are currently involved in major oil and gas projects in China, Mongolia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Australia," he said.
