Firm-hopping by energy and resources lawyers in Perth continues after King & Wood Mallesons poached two energy and resources partners from Ashurst, just two days after news that Ashurst had nabbed three partners from Norton Rose Fulbright.

Antonella Pacitti and Roger Davies will join King & Wood Mallesons later this year and follow their former Ashurst colleagues Lorenzo Pacitti and Peter Vaughan, who joined King & Wood Mallesons late last year. The two Pacittis are siblings.
