Law firm Wotton + Kearney is expanding its Property, Construction and Energy group to prepare for heightened client demand in construction and infrastructure which it expects will continue for up to a decade on new government investment.

Partner Wes Rose will move across from Sparke Helmore this week and is to be closely followed by his team of six: special counsel Anthony Mangafas and senior associates Marnie Hasler and James Sutherland, as well as associates Dena Patterson, Ryan Owens and Tshering Lama.

Offering the insurance market expertise across Power, Mining, Gas, Rail, Construction & Infrastructure, Renewables and Commercial and Industrial Property sectors, the group is led by Adam Chylek.
