Mills Oakley has added a new partner in its Brisbane building and construction practice.

John Matthews has joined the firm from Carter Newell, where he was a senior associate in construction and engineering.

Matthews is the second partner to be appointed to Mills Oakley’s Brisbane office in as many months; property specialist, Michael Nixon moved from Norton Rose in April.

Matthews has extensive experience in front end construction work, having provided advice to a range of public and private companies and has experience in complex building matters. He has also advised on key risk issues arising from contract formation, risk allocation, negotiation and drafting.
