Dentons continues to deliver on its Growth strategy with the addition of Planning and Environment Partner, Mitchell Osborne, to its Brisbane office.

Mitchell has over 15 years of experience in environment and planning law and is also a qualified town planner. Mitchell acts for developers, landowners, local and state government authorities and submitters across a broad range of planning, development and environmental matters in the Planning and Environment court.

Mitchell has represented both complainants and defendants in the Magistrates Court around planning and environment laws and regulations. Mitchell’s experience also includes preparing agreements and due diligence reports and providing clients with ‘front end’ advice on planning, environmental and infrastructure matters.

Dentons Australia Chair and Australasia Region CEO, Doug Stipanicev said Mitchell’s appointment complements Dentons’ existing property and construction practices and adds significant strength to the rapidly growing Brisbane office.

“I am delighted to welcome Mitchell to Dentons. Mitchell’s appointment is a welcome addition to our Brisbane office, as well as our Planning and Environment team more broadly. Mitchell’s experience will be of great benefit to our clients in Queensland, particularly given the Olympics infrastructure projects currently underway.”

Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Osborne said, “This is a very exciting time to be joining Dentons and I’m looking forward to contributing to the growth of the Brisbane office.”
