Testimonials

We were represented by Philip Lea (partner) and Jacinta O'Sullivan (associate) in our transaction selling the entire share capital to a US based trade acquirer. The complications in the transaction were ultimately hidden from me as it was managed so well as to shield me from it. Philip was a fantastic partner and Jacinta was excellent support as his associate.

Testimonials

Philip Lea had real calm, poise and practicality in everything, down to the way any news was delivered. It felt like he'd thought a few moves ahead and was very reassuring and if there was a challenge, he had considered how to approach it. Jacinta O'Sullivan was a very capable support throughout, and handled many interactions directly.

He was also very good at co-ordinating and identifying the other areas of legal expertise required and helping the acquiring company source this expertise.
