Squire Patton boosts energy, resources capability

Global law firm Squire Patton Boggs has appointed Michael Brady as partner in its corporate practice group based in Perth, Western Australia, to advise clients within the energy and resources sector.

Brady is an experienced corporate, commercial and securities lawyer focused on energy, mining and resources sectors. He was formerly the national sector lead for energy and resources at HWL Ebsworth.

At Squire Patton, Brady will advise clients on complex, often multi-jursidictional transactions, as well as a wide range of operational matters.

He also advises on various operational related matters across the energy and resources sector, including transportation and infrastructure access and use, joint ventures and joint operating arrangements, sales, marketing and offtake agreements, earn-in agreements, royalty and streaming arrangements, split commodity and mineral rights arrangements, alongside procurement, supply and other commercial contracts.

Managing Director Tony Chong says together with his general corporate and commercial expertise, Brady’s pragmatic, client-focused approach makes him an “ideal fit” with the regional and global teams.

“He also brings with him a listed entity and Australian Securities Exchange experience which further strengthens our corporate offering,” Chong says.

Squire Patton Boggs is an integrated legal practice, providing insight at the point where law, business and government meet. With more than 1,500 lawyers across over 40 offices on four continents, the firm delivers commercially focused legal services to a diverse mix of clients across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Latin America.
