Hilary came to the firm from a project management and engineering company in Perth, Western Australia, where she managed and negotiated contracts from tender through execution for energy development across Australia and Africa. Prior to that, Hilary worked as a client contracts analyst for a global energy technology company, drafting and negotiating contracts for services to oil and gas, mining, hydrogen, ammonia, geothermal, and carbon capture and sequestration projects across Australasia.
Before transitioning to the commercial side of the energy industry, Hilary spent three years at a full-service oil and gas law firm in Houston, Texas, where she handled matters related to domestic onshore and offshore upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
