Ashurst has hired the co-head of Baker McKenzie’s renewable energy practice, Paul Curnow, in Sydney, along with two senior colleagues.
The firm said the arrival of Curnow, fellow Bakers partner Kate Phillips and special counsel Zoe Hilson, who is joining as a partner, underlined ‘the growing strength and reputation’ of its practice in a ‘powerhouse’ sector for the Australian economy.
The trio have spent well over a decade working together at Bakers. Curnow, who is leaving the global giant after more than 20 years, advises on renewable energy-focused project development, offtake agreements and energy regulation.
