PLC Which Lawyer? Yearbook 2008
“A ‘fantastic firm that provides a consistently high standard of advice,’ Mallesons continues to impress with its ‘depth of experience, efficiency and quality IT support on major transactions.’ With offices in Hong Kong, Beijing and throughout Australia, its national and international focus gives it the ability to handle even the biggest transactions. On the IT side, for instance, the ‘established and knowledgeable team’ assisted Telstra BigPond with successfully acquiring exclusive Internet and mobile rights to sports content with both the AFL and the NRL. The media practice has also been extremely busy and spans both traditional and new media work. It acts for prominent players such as Daily Mail Group and Time.”

“Mallesons Stephen Jaques has a leading reputation in the technology sector, in part due to its expertise in negotiating outsourcing arrangements; the team advised Telstra on its outsourcing of its non-core procurement and accounts payable functions, and TRUenergy on outsourcing certain retail and IT services. Telco work included acting for Telstra in the landmark C7 litigation, as well as in its challenge to the constitutional validity of key parts of the telecoms regulatory regime, and on the T3 share offering from the government. In the media sector, the team acted for CVC on its successful bid for a 50% stake in PBL’s key assets and represented Seven Network in the high-profile battle over the move of Mark Llewellyn from Channel 9 to Channel 7.”
