International law firm Jones Day has recently expanded its Asia Pacific energy practice amid a wave of significant hires. The hires include Simon Brown, former Ashurst partner, who is now joining the firm’s Brisbane office, and Paul Greening, previously associated with Akin Gump, who is moving to Jones Day’s Singapore office. The addition of these experienced professionals is expected to enrich the expertise of Jones Day’s energy practice in the Asia Pacific region.
Simon Brown, as an established practitioner, carries a robust portfolio in the energy sector. His proficiency includes dealing with acquisitions, project development, joint ventures, including operational related disputes. Brown’s critical role in Australia’s contemporary energy market with significant mandates and his contribution to Ashurst in Brisbane are notable.
Simultaneously, Paul Greening, who will now operate from the Singapore office, has had a distinguished career in the energy sector spanning over decades. Primarily dealing in the oil and gas industry, Greening has advised on multiple multi-billion-dollar acquisitions and disposals internationally. His comprehensive understanding of the sector’s dynamic environment and his work at Akin Gump has won him wide recognition in the field.
