With over 20 years’ experience, 9 years of which were spent working in London, Marni has developed a thorough understanding of the types of issues that arise in corporate transactions. She has significant experience working with clients on multi-jurisdictional corporate transactions, international carve-out and integration transactions, mergers and acquisitions transactions and project development.
As a specialist in the energy and resources sectors, Marni is well-versed in dealing with the full spectrum of issues that arise in projects in the energy, transport and logistics, mining and oil and gas sectors. She has advised clients in the energy and mining industries on the establishment of new projects, the disposal and acquisition of major projects, the establishment of joint venture arrangements, joint operating agreements, farm-in arrangements, royalties and regulatory issues.
Prior to joining Hamilton Locke, Marni worked for MinterEllison, Allens and Clayton Utz in Australia and BakerMcKenzie in London. Additionally, in 2022 Marni acted as a Senior Legal Counsel for Fortescue Future Industries, a global green energy company committed to producing green hydrogen from renewable sources, and in 2020 she acted as the Head of Legal for Ecora Resources PLC, a royalty and streaming company listed in London and Toronto. These in-house secondments give Marni a heightened understanding of the benefits external legal advisers can provide both to in-house legal and commercial teams.
