Mr Bruton has a long and respected career of over 20 years of top tier professional experience in corporate, mining, energy and infrastructure law. He has been recognised as a leading transactional and project lawyer in the mining and energy sectors in Australia.
In senior leadership roles, Andrew has been responsible for large teams at both State and National levels. He is also an experienced company director.
Having advised major Australian and international mining and energy companies on complex projects, and being a strategic thinker and leader with strong business acumen and a focus on delivering outcomes, he brings a wealth of expertise to Macarthur Minerals.
