Australian firm Maddocks has hired a top energy and resources lawyer – Ashurst partner Peter Limbers.

An expert in the renewables, electricity and gas sectors, Limbers will be joining Maddocks as a partner in Sydney in early 2020.

He has acted for energy utilities and investors on development projects, acquisitions and transactions in the solar, wind, energy storage and distributed energy sectors, as well as on conventional power generation, energy network development, commodity trading, retailing and marketing.

He also advises government and the energy sector on energy market regulatory reform and the corporatisation of utilities.

"Peter's vast experience in the energy sector fits in perfectly for the work we do with government and private sector clients in infrastructure, planning and environment, and competition and regulation," said Julian Smith, head of Maddocks' commercial practice.

Ashurst declined to comment.
