With more lawyers selected for inclusion than any other firm in the country, Mallesons Stephen Jaques is the leading Australian firm in our research. Partners from the firm feature 68 times in the following pages across 22 of the practice areas we cover.

The firm’s largest contingent is in the capital markets chapter, where five partners are selected. Greg Hammond leads the Australian research overall, while David Friedlander is “the absolute first choice” of clients. Adrienne Showering is a “premier league lawyer” and gives the firm a presence in the London market, and David Olsson is also selected in Beijing.

In Hong Kong, Richard Mazzochi is rated as “first-class” and earns a place in both the capital markets and banking sections. He is joined in the latter once again by the “exemplary” Greg Hammond and four further nominees from Australia, including Jeff Clark who earns a place in three chapters. Mallesons also leads the Australian project finance research with five nominees, and Peter Doyle in particular is highly rated by our sources.

The firm’s corporate work is also highly rated. On the tax side, Andrew Clements gives “advice you can really rely on” and David Wood is also highly rated by clients and peers alike. The M&A chapter sees David Friedlander stand out once again for his “phenomenal” practice, and Tim Bednall also scores very highly. The four featured transactional specialists are also recognised for their corporate governance expertise, alongside Alison Lansley who was recognised for over 25 years of corporate experience, as both a regulator and a private practitioner.

Mallesons performs strongly in a range of further areas. The aviation practice is recognised with the inclusion of four partners, including the “excellent” John Canning, while Martyn Huckerby in Shanghai is one of the most highly regarded China-based competition experts in our research. He was also picked out for his communications expertise alongside two further nominees from Australia, and Mallesons also leads our internet, e-commerce and data protection research with four lawyers selected. In the construction chapter Peter Megens stands out with over 30 years of experience, and Peter Pether was deemed “a doyen”. David Bateson stands out for his arbitration expertise in this sector and beyond.
