Hall & Wilcox

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘Scott Butler was very easy to deal with both via written advice, emails and phone calls. Scott gave very good background information on the landscape within which the matter was based which then helped us to better understand the legal context for his advice. The follow up advice and markups to our lending documents was also very efficient and practical, rather than markups for the sake of markups. To this, I have an enormous amount of respect for Scott's efficiency and client-focussed approach.’

• ‘Adrian Lasky is a trusted and talent advisor insolvency, restructuring and dispute legal advisor who understands the critical importance of legal efficiency, commercial outcomes and value for the stakeholder he represents.' 

• 'Over the last 12 months I have had the opportunity to work with David Dickens. He is a very efficient and smart legal advisor that just gets things done and is a pleasure to work with.’

• ‘Wayne Kelcey is always on call. He is very commercial and practical with his advice, knows the industry in which we operate, and has a great ability to navigate complex problems.' 

• ‘I believe the deep knowledge and understanding of the law of insolvency. This with a personal approach gave comfort and reassurance in a extremely tough time.’

• ‘We have worked with Scott Butler and his team. I can not speak more highly of the work they have done for us in a very difficult time. It was Scott ability to listen to our particular issues and have an appreciation of what has lead to the matters at hand. With this understanding of our background coupled with a deep legal knowledge lead to positive outcomes with our matters.’

• ‘Hall & Wilcox have a very strong restructuring & insolvency team across Australia. They are really the only firm that I can think of that have a strong presence across the whole country. The team is exceptionally strong in the restructuring & insolvency area. They present regularly at ARITA events and are fully up to date in law changes. They are all very pragmatic and commercial.’

• ‘Mark Petrucco is an exceptional practitioner. Mark is one of the few lawyers in the restructuring and insolvency space that are excellent lawyers as well as being commercial and pragmatic. Too many lawyers want to win the case, rather than get the best outcome for the client.' Mark is the exception.
