Peter Dighton Email & Phone Number

I have spent the last 30 years working around the world both as a lawyer and project manager on major projects and transactions - most of these were in the natural gas and LNG sectors. My work usually involved initially taking a ”helicopter view” to understand the commercial drivers behind the project or transaction. Once these had been identified and understood, a complicated situation could then be reduced to simple steps by identifying what needed to be done, when and by whom; in other words, identifying the tasks and deliverables to establish a Project Execution Plan. I have been a partner in two international law firms, as well as working as in-house counsel and company director for listed oil companies and unlisted contracting companies. This experience enables me to view work from the perspectives of both the client and the service provider. In addition, my approach of adopting a holistic view also led to clients seeking strategic advice and engaging me to facilitate strategic workshops. For the last 17 years I have been the principal of Law Strategies Pty Ltd which specialises in:• the planning, structuring, negotiation and documentation of projects and transactions• assisting companies to find strategic solutions to commercial issues• training legal and accounting professionals in how to apply project management disciplines to their work to achieve the efficiency and transparency that clients are now demanding. Legal Project Management has become an important tool used by leading US law firms to help them maintain margins at a time when clients are looking to reduce their overall spend on legal servicesSome further details of projects I have worked on can be found at www.lawstrategies.com
