Description This is a rare opportunity for a senior Competition lawyer to join a leading energy, competition and regulatory practice in Perth, working on high-profile, complex commercial disputes and regulatory issues for a variety of clients, including corporate, government and regulators, such as the Economic Regulation Authority.
