Emmanuel Asigau joins Corrs from a Port Moresby-based firm, while Ryan Warokra is being promoted into the partnership from Corrs’ PNG practice.
Commenting on the appointments, Corrs Senior Partner and CEO Gavin MacLaren said: “We are pleased to welcome Emmanuel and Ryan to the partnership. They both have considerable experience working in Papua New Guinea and will further enhance our PNG offering.”
Emmanuel has practised as a litigation and commercial lawyer in Papua New Guinea for over 17 years.
