Australia > Energy (transactions and regulatory)
Hailed by clients as ‘knowledgeable, approachable and responsive’, the team at Jones Day displays deep bench strength across a broad range of matters, including M&A, financing transactions and mining and pipelines. Specialising in energy, gas, electricity and utilities, practice head Dan Howard continues to advise Coronado Curragh on its waste coal methane extraction. Transactional specialists Tony Wassaf and Darren Murphy concentrate on legislative and policy related issues, and are particularly adept at drafting and negotiating commercial agreements and joint ventures.
Australia > Natural resources (transactions and regulatory)
Jones Day is praised for its technical excellence and its ‘market-leading expertise in respect of natural gas’, which is a key strength of the team. Former practice head Andrew Smith retired in November, and subsequently Dan Howard took on the role of leading the ‘small but powerful team‘ out of the firm’s Brisbane office, bringing a significant amount of expertise in the areas of electricity, mining and infrastructure projects to the practice. Tony Wassaf is a key name to note for mining pipeline matters.
