A&O Shearman

A&O Shearman’s Australian dispute resolution and arbitration team stands out for its focus on complex, high-value disputes, in which the team acts in collaboration with the firm’s Hong Kong, Singapore, London and Paris offices. Clients commend its ‘very well-led team' and 'excellent results under time pressure’. The Perth-based Mark Van Brakel combines three decades of international arbitration experience with 'great instincts', while the highly regarded David Jenaway specialises in liquefied natural gas pricing and Asia Pacific energy disputes. Together they lead the group, which has a strong track record in large-scale energy and natural resources arbitrations.
