Mallesons makes it three in a row at 2009 CFO Awards

2 October 2009

Mallesons Stephen Jaques has won the prestigious CFO Corporate Legal Services Firm of the Year award for the 3rd consecutive year.  Mallesons has now achieved this honour a total of 5 times - the only firm to do so.

Announcing the award, CFO Magazine said that in the view of the client judges, what places Mallesons ahead of competitors is proactive engagement with clients and deep understanding of clients' businesses. As one judge remarked, Mallesons "gets inside the DNA of a company and comes on the journey with it".

Speaking on behalf of the firm, Mallesons’ Managing Partner (Practice) Stuart Fuller said: “We thank CFO and the judges who voted for our firm. We are very proud to have won this award again given the strong competition in the Australian legal market.

“I would like to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of partners and staff at Mallesons in terms of client service efforts, particularly given the economic challenges of the last year”.

Mr Fuller also offered Mallesons' congratulations to clients who won other CFO awards, including:

  • NAB - Business Bank of the Year

  • GSJBW - Corporate Finance House of the Year
