Squire Patton Boggs has hired experienced disputes lawyer Scott Crabb as a partner in its Litigation Practice Group in Perth. He was previously a partner at Clayton Utz.
With over 30 years’ experience in complex and large scale commercial litigation, Scott has handled international and multi-jurisdictional disputes, arbitrations, regulatory investigations and crisis management. He also advises clients across a wide range of industry sectors on issues relating to statutory interpretation, contracting, IP, competition and trade practices, media, distribution, marketing and advertising, and governance and compliance issues.
“We are pleased to welcome Scott to the firm,” said Stephen Sampson, who leads the EMEA and Australia Litigation Practice Group. “Scott’s appointment is another important step in the expansion of our global practice, complementing recent hires in Spain and the UK and enhancing our ability to support clients on complex matters across key markets.”
Tony Chong, managing partner of the firm’s Perth office, added: “Scott has a strong profile and brings a wealth of experience to the firm. His extensive and wide ranging industry expertise, particularly in the mining, energy, and healthcare sectors, aligns well with our strategic priorities. His arrival will enhance our disputes capability and support the continued growth of the practice in Australia.”
Scott commented: “Squire Patton Boggs is a firm with momentum and a clear vision for growth in areas that are important to my practice. I am excited to join the team and look forward to working with my new colleagues to help expand our services to clients in Australia and internationally.”
Scott follows the arrival of Litigation partners Lorena Fatás in Madrid, and Miles Robinson, Deborah Polden and Ciaran Williams in the UK.
