Jack Brumpton, Partner, Brisbane
My work in energy and natural resources is varied and aspirational, contributing positively to society and communities, often involving 'real-life' projects I can see as I travel. My role is complex, balancing different legal frameworks and sensitive negotiations with governments and oil majors, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Cate Martin, Partner, Sydney
I love the energy from colleagues who were looking to doing things differently and challenge the status quo, as well as the visionary leadership of Senior Partners who continue to inspire. It’s also refreshing to be at a firm that is committed to doing the most interesting and impactful work for clients – both in commercial practice and pro bono.
