Squire Sanders has made its fourth partner hire of the past six months, bringing the firm to a total of 16 partners in Australia. The latest recruit is Avendra Singh, who joins the construction practice from Colin Biggers & Paisley.

Singh has over 27 years of experience in the field of construction and projects law from both a contentious and non-contentious perspective. Projects he has recently provided advice in relation to include the $2 billion upgrade of Sydney Airport, the redevelopment of the Royal Agricultural Showground, Olympic Park, and the creation of the Collins Square Precinct, Docklands in Melbourne.

John Poulsen, Squire Sanders’ managing partner in Australia, said that the aggressive expansion would continue. “We have very ambitious plans to build on our existing expertise in core practices such as construction, projects and infrastructure,” he said.
