Having completed a crucial overhaul of its management and remuneration structures towards the end of 2013, Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF) would have hoped to get 2014 off to a positive start but has instead suffered another setback, with news that the head of the firm’s mining practice in Perth, Justin Little, will join independent Australian outfit Gilbert + Tobin.
Little will join the Perth office of Gilbert + Tobin in its energy and resources practice. He is a member of the Australian Mining and Petroleum Law Association and has extensive experience advising Australian publically listed mining and resources companies, including BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, on M&A transactions and equity fundraisings.
