Ashurst is adding three renewable energy partners in Australia.

Paul Curnow, Kathryn Phillips and Zoë Hilson all join from Baker McKenzie where they had worked together since 2006. Sydney-based Curnow most recently led the global firm’s renewables practice in Asia Pacific. In 2017, he advised infrastructure investor Foresight Group on acquiring its first solar project in Australia. He’s practiced with Baker McKenzie since 1998 and spent a year between 2013 and 2014 on secondment as general counsel of Clean Energy Finance Corp., Australia’s government-owned green bank.
