National Infrastructure Conference

Published on 28 Apr 2022 | Took place at Crown Sydney & Online, National

Investment in infrastructure is critical for creating the conditions in which our economy can continue to grow in the post COVID recovery period. Governments in Australia are increasingly looking to the private sector to develop and maintain roads, ports, pipelines, renewable energy and other essential infrastructure assets. There are record levels of M&A transactions involving infrastructure and energy transactions.

Our conference program provided an outstanding array of speakers and topics. Nancy Tchou from Morgan Stanley, Jeremy Thorpe from PwC and James Beeston together with Ryan Kinsella from the ATO delivered keynote addresses. We were also delighted to have The Hon. Justice Logan address us on expert evidence, as well as a broad range of Australian Taxation Office, corporate and advisory speakers.
