Chambers Global Guide 2009

“Considered a ‘market leader’, Mallesons Stephen Jaques comfortably makes the top tier. Greg Hammond, who joins the leading individuals list, recorded a solid year despite the downturn in the market, advising Macquarie on the incorporation of a non-operating holding company into its business structure (the first of its kind for an Australian bank), JPMorgan on the Centennial Coal convertible note issue, which raised up to A$165m, and Westpac on its US funding programme, which included establishing a new US$10bn programme, updating a medium-term deposit note programme, and issuing A$2.24bn extendible notes.”

“David Friedlander impresses clients and peers, who acknowledge his status as a market leader. He is described as ‘an excellent practitioner who is very commercial and who always stays on top of matters.’ He acted for the Primary Health Care’s pro rata entitlement offer and advised the underwriters of St George Bank’s AUD400 million CPS II issue.”
Chambers Global Guide 2009
“Shannon Finch is ‘a very good, skilled practitioner who does excellent work.’ She recently acted on the RAMS Home Loans IPO and advised the underwriters on an arrangement for the proposed equity funding of MFS Living and Leisure’s bid for Tourism Holdings (NZ).”
Chambers Global Guide 2009
“Clients recommend Greg Golding for his ‘solid and practical approach’ and the market considers him ‘a name that readily comes to mind in the field.’ One of his recent work highlights was advising nib Holdings on all aspects of its demutualisation and listing, which was the first of its kind for a private health insurer in Australia.”
Chambers Global Guide 2009
“Clients from within the banking sector comment that Ian Paterson is ‘a go-to guy for domestic and investment banks.’ He has been particularly active in hybrid securities, recently working on ANZ’s GBP450 million hybrid capital raising.”
Chambers Global Guide 2009
“At Mallesons Stephen Jaques, David Friedlander is the name that springs to mind as the best equity capital markets lawyer, though Ian Paterson comes in a close second as a ‘tier 1 capital expert’ who is ‘the best from both a legal and drafting perspective’, and who is 'good at helping to solve commercial problems’. Friedlander worked with David Eliakim in advising on Primary Health Care’s pro-rata entitlement offer, while Paterson advised on ANZ’s non-innovative tier 1 hybrid security to raise £450m. Other clients include JPMorgan, ABN Amro and BNP Paribas. One of the reasons clients choose the firm is ‘the fact that they have partner-level access and attention...at rates no different to other top firms’…”
