He has also managed Coronial Inquiries and appeals to the NSW Court of Appeal, Federal Court of Appeal, High Court and International Courts of Arbitration.

Powell joined Thomsons in 2008 with a team of four lawyers.

His recent move to HWL follows another high-level partner defection from Thomsons. Former property and projects partner Ron Eames joined Holding Redlich in Brisbane in January.

Thomsons had, however, picked up two heavyweight lawyers early last year: banking and finance partner Michael Barrett, known for being an extremely tough and aggressive litigator, and the former head of national leisure and entertainment at Clayton Utz, Tony Rein.
