Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'Alana Rafter and Nigel Ward stand out most. I have watched Alana grow as a solicitor over the past few years, and she is becoming a fantastic lawyer. The knowledge and experience she has absorbed is extensive, and in time she will consolidate those learnings fully. Nigel is the master, and I respect him greatly for his huge experience in industrial relations. He is one of the few IR colleagues I look up to as a role model in terms of his exceptional expertise.'
- 'Luis Izzo is an exceptional practitioner. He is available when needed, flexible, and amenable to client ideas. He always manages expectations and leads to the right outcome without judgement. Luis educates when he explains, acknowledges when he learns something new, and never shies away from complexity. He ensures there is always a clear path through any legal puzzle, and every team member benefits from the value he brings.'
