Ashurst Australia has announced Jeremy Chenoweth will rejoin the firm as a partner based in the Brisbane office.

Chenoweth is a Blake Dawson (now Ashurst) alumni, having worked with the firm from 2001 to 2009. On 29 October 2012 he will re-join the firm from Santos where he was legal manager and lead construction lawyer on the $US18.5 billion Santos GLNG Project.

Chenoweth’s practice at Ashurst will be built on the three pillars of construction, commercial and regulatory disputes, with a focus on high-end strategic issues including international arbitration. "There is no doubt his experience with such a world-leading project as the Santos GLNG Project has positioned him as one of the leading legal minds in the resources sector,"  Ashurst Australia managing partner John Carrington said.

While at Santos Chenoweth worked closely with Santos’ project partners, PETRONAS, Total and KOGAS.
