Corrs Chambers Westgarth combines its expertise in contamination and pollution with its ability to advance large-scale infrastructure projects. Christine Covington’s diverse client base includes property developers, trusts, industrial corporates, charities, and government agencies. Louise Camenzuli is well-placed to advise on significant infrastructure projects, and Anna White’s practice increasingly focuses on climate-related financial disclosure standards, carbon credits, and approval pathways. Brent Lillywhite enhances the team with his experience in environmental and planning litigation. Michael Leong remains a key contact for development and infrastructure initiatives.
