Debra Osborne joins Jones Day’s disputes practice in Perth

Debra Osborne has joined Jones Day’s global disputes practice in the firm’s Perth office. She joins, along with three colleagues, from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan’s Perth office.

Also joining the firm were Pierce McMahon, Reece McMahon and Adam Rompotis, each of whom joined as an associate.

Osborn’s practice includes all forms of dispute resolution covering superior court litigation, domestic and international commercial arbitration, expert determination, adjudication, and mediation. She works on complex disputes involving major projects and infrastructure and across sectors that include energy and resources, building and construction, real property, agribusiness, trade practices and competition, professional negligence, intellectual property, state taxes, land access and native title. Osborn works regularly with Australia’s pre-eminent senior counsel and has appeared in the High Court of Australia, the Federal Court of Australia, the Supreme Court of Western Australia, and the State Administrative Tribunal, as well as ICC, SIAC, and UNCITRAL international commercial arbitrations.

“This team of talented lawyers adds tremendous depth to our disputes team in Perth for representing both local and international clients in some of the most important commercial disputes in Australia and the Asia Pacific region,” said Adam Salter, partner-in-charge of the firm’s Perth office. “The arrival of these four individuals will help us provide even better service to clients and I am delighted to welcome them to the Perth office of Jones Day.”


“Jones Day launched its presence in Australia in 2006, and our global disputes practice has been a key contributor to our growth in the region over the past 15 years,” said Chris Ahern, partner-in-charge for Jones Day’s Australia/Japan region. “We are pleased to welcome this team of attorneys to the Perth office and look forward to their contributions to our work here in serving our clients’ needs for high-stakes litigation and arbitration counsel.”
