Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘My dealings are with Nicole Priestley and Richard Ellard, and so to me, they are the team. I particularly like that they are proactive rather than reactive and always appear to be on the front foot. They are focused on getting the job done. If or should I say when there are issues along the line they'll tell you what they are, what the options are for dealing with it and which they'd recommend and why. This is far more preferable than throwing the ball into my court.’
'Matthew Grogan has resourced his team with good quality lawyers, trainees and paralegals to enable them to provide us with adequate and efficient service in meeting both our, and our clients', demands. Under Matt's guidance, the team are among the best I have worked with in terms of their knowledge, ability to explain an issue and written communication.'
