On the 40th anniversary of S&C’s entry into the Australian market, S&C Co-Chair Scott Miller spoke to Australasian Lawyer about the Firm’s evolution in that market, where it serves clients from offices in Sydney and Melbourne.
Since opening its Melbourne office in 1993 as one of the first U.S. firms to enter the Australian market, S&C has become the leading law firm in the region for U.S. capital market financings. Last year, we represented National Australia Bank in more than $9 billion of notes offerings, including its largest bond offering into the U.S. market, as well as BHP in its merger of its oil and gas portfolio with Woodside Energy, a combination valued at $28 billion. We have also advised on some of the largest and most complex natural resource projects in the region, including the Australia Pacific LNG project, the first unconventional gas to liquefied natural gas project in the world, along with the North West Shelf LNG project, PNG LNG project and Lihir Gold project.
“Over the years, S&C has built its reputation as a top global law firm in the region and the U.S. counsel of choice to Australasian corporations in connection with their most transformative debt and equity offerings, bank and other financings, acquisitions and corporate governance matters,” Miller stated.
