Career

Tony is the head of Ogier’s finance practice in Asia and specialises in banking, capital markets, corporate transactions, structured finance and restructuring.

Clients say that they value Tony's "commerciality and capacity to cut through a great amount of complexity and provide straightforward advice”.

Since joining Ogier, Tony has advised on a number of landmark transactions, including Indonesia's national airline's US$500 million sukuk - the first non-sovereign USD Sukuk out of Indonesia and the first Asia Pacific national flag carrier to successfully issue a USD benchmark bond on a standalone basis since Qantas Airways’ USD bond offering - and the successful restructuring of Mongolian Mining Corporation, a significant and complex matter named Restructuring Deal of the Year by IFLR in 2018.

Tony started his career at a leading Australian firm in Sydney where he gained broad experience in banking and corporate transactions. Tony then worked in-house at one of Australia's largest investment services groups, where he focused on funds establishment and capital markets and structured finance transactions.
