Former PwC legal director Samantha Smart has rejoined Squire Patton Boggs (SPB) as a partner in its Perth office.
Smart’s practice focuses on energy, mining, and natural resources. She has over 17 years of experience advising Australian and international clients on private M&A deals, sale and purchase arrangements, and project development and operation.
She has worked across the power, energy and resources sector, providing guidance on matters involving oil and gas, hard rock mining, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage and renewables projects.
