Corrs Chambers Westgarth has appointed leading private equity expert Philip Kapp as a partner in its private equity practice. Kapp joins the firm from Clayton Utz where he was a partner and head of private equity. He is considered one of Australia's top private equity lawyers having been involved in almost every major private equity transaction in the country since 2000. He joins Corrs this week as senior member of the private equity team based in Sydney.
Kapp’s career includes a strong track record in advising on foreign investment into Australia. He has significant experience advising Australia's largest public companies on M&A, corporate restructurings, joint ventures and capital raisings.
This is the seventh new partner appointed by Corrs this year, and the fourth major lateral hire.
