Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘I used Dillon Eustace as they are a large well respected firm familiar with my requirements (contract negotiation). Using such a firm automatically placed me in a stronger position. I was working to a tight deadline and needed things completed rapidly but with due precision.’
‘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.’
‘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.’
‘Philip Lea was extremely helpful in dealing with and bring along a diverse group of shareholders in the acquiring company, which included a shareholder who was actually selling the assets. He was also very good at co-ordinating and identifying the other areas of legal expertise reqiuired and helping the acquiring company source this expertise.'
