Testimonials

- ‘Right from the outset, Wallace LLP stood out because of the calibre and commitment of the individuals involved. Being introduced to Partner Daniel Isaac early in the process set the tone for what became a very supportive and strategically thoughtful relationship. Daniel was refreshingly transparent about the realities of the case—including its likely duration and cost implications. His proactive emphasis on being cost-conscious was both practical and reassuring, and it demonstrated an integrity that maybe isn’t always front and centre in legal matters.'
- ‘Daniel Isaac made sure I always understood the 'why' behind each choice and decision. I always felt heard and understood. He showed me a range of choices, and always helped me reach the best possible outcome. Hugely grateful for Daniel's thoughtful approach, which also brings huge amounts of knowledge and experience.’
- ‘Daniel Isaac was the lead throughout and all of the aforementioned applies mainly to himself. Being smart enough to know the law inside out whilst also being able to translate all that knowledge onto people who don't, in a simple, clear way. And doing it all whilst having an arm around you. I couldn't have felt Daniel being any more on our side.’
- ‘Wallace LLP is a great team, all working together seamlessly. Information is shared and bolstered throughout the internal strata. Everyone I came in contact with knew exactly the brief and how to proceed.'
- 'They are specialists and geniuses at employment law specifically. Every piece of communication we received and that were sent were clear, concise, and really impactful.’
- ‘Daniel Isaac is a brilliant lawyer. He's tenacious and calm. His advice is always accurate and always leads to the correct outcome. He intermediates with a polite but very firm demeanour. I was 100% assured that his leadership and counsel would lead to the best resolution, even though at times the risk worried me.'
