White & Case has recruited another senior Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF) partner in Australia with the hire of the firm’s global co-head of construction and infrastructure disputes.

Hamish Macpherson, who had been a partner at the firm since 2005, is the latest to depart after a 10-strong team left to launch Melbourne and Sydney bases for White & Case. Macpherson will join the US firm’s global commercial litigation practice in Sydney.
