Roger is a partner in Trowers & Hamlins’ Oman office, which he joined in 2008. Roger leads the Oman office banking and project finance practice and advises on banking and project finance, infrastructure projects and corporate law. He also advises sponsors establishing investment funds.

Roger spent a number of years at Australian Law Firm Clayton Utz, where he was a partner for 10 years from 1992. In 2002 Roger joined a listed investment company with offices in New York and Australia conducting private equity investments and corporate advisory services for clients conducting M&A, private equity and equity capital markets transactions.

Roger was admitted as a Solicitor to the Supreme Court of Queensland in 1985, with subsequent admissions to the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Supreme Court of Western Australia, the Federal Court of Australia and the High Court of Australia.

2011 Legal 500 says Roger “has developed a reputation as a go-to-lawyer for sophisticated and complex banking and financing transactions. Praised for being ‘easy to deal with’, he recently advised the lenders in the $1bn financing of the Salalah IWPP Project, in what was the first private project financing to proceed in the Gulf following the global financial crisis.”

2011 Chambers and Partners Global says of Roger, “He is quickly establishing a reputation, largely attributable to his ‘depth of knowledge and willingness to respond very quickly.”
