Mills Oakley strengthened its corporate finance practice with the recruitment of special counsel Robert Murphy from Norton Rose Fulbright. Murphy’s experience in construction finance and asset-backed lending complements lead partner Graeme Gurney’s specialism in real estate, asset and structured finance.
