Leading international law firm, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer (HSF Kramer) welcomes Marcus Davenport to its growing projects, energy and infrastructure (PEI) partnership in Melbourne, Australia.
Following three decades at Clayton Utz, Marcus joins over 50 global partners within the PEI practice with extensive experience leading private-side infrastructure procurement matters across Australia.
More than 200 partners operate in the energy and infrastructure sectors across the firm globally.
PEI Managing partner, Asia and Australia, Nick Baker said Marcus brings market-recognised expertise to its infrastructure and private capital client offering.
“It is fantastic to welcome Marcus to our partnership. Marcus brings a strong mix of technical and commercial skills, along with the experience to support clients on their most significant and complex projects.
“The addition of Marcus strengthens our private capital-led infrastructure offering across social and economic assets such as roads, public transport, defence, schools, social and affordable housing, and hospitals, delivered through PPPs and other procurement models.”
Nick Carney, Partner and Co-Head of Infrastructure added: “We recognise the critical role that highly skilled legal advice plays in delivering Australia’s essential infrastructure assets.
“We also remain focused on supporting our clients to deliver ambitious new infrastructure projects, particularly across energy, defence, security and resilience, and digital.”
Marcus said he looks forward to joining HSF Kramer’s partnership this month to support both private and public sector clients on multi-billion-dollar, nation-building projects.
“I’m really looking forward to becoming part of an outstanding team with such broad and deep expertise in energy and infrastructure, and to working with clients delivering on so much of the ever-growing infrastructure needs of the future both in Australia and around the world.”
Marcus joins following the PEI practice’s expansion into Asia, as part of the growth of its global footprint. It also follows the promotion of four energy and infrastructure partners in Australia in April: Tom Dougherty, Skye Kirby, Stuart Robertson and Bailee Walker.
