Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team leads the field in being acutely aware of the importance of ascertaining and deploying legal issues and strategies, marshaling the evidence in support and working with clients, barristers, experts, and the team more generally in order to obtain the best outcomes (and often in difficult cases).'
- 'Perhaps most importantly and impressively, Colin, Greg and Alex have developed a generation of lawyers who should and will plainly lead the team and the legal market in the future. Sheena McKie -- who has a clear and accurate claim to being the best and most well rounded senior lawyer in Sydney -- is one such example. The appointment of William Atfield as partner is another such example. Future leaders include Caitlin Sheehy, Alex Corsaro and, more recently, Ethan Tindall.’
