“Mallesons “has a depth of experience in complex competition matters that few other firms can match,” according to clients. The team is “staffed with excellent technicians” who between them possess a sound knowledge of every major industry, “so there is no time wasted bringing anyone up to speed on industry-specific issues.” Telecoms is a particular strength, and the group is the primary adviser to the market incumbent Telstra, representing it on a wide range of competition matters. The firm’s impressive track record in M&A is another drawcard for clients, who entrust the competition team with their “most important and complex transactional matters.” For example, it advised the Airline Partners Australia consortium on its highly publicised bid for Qantas. With its national and international network - the firm has overseas offices in Hong Kong, Beijing, London and Port Moresby - it is well positioned to advise on global merger and cartel work touching the region. Recently, the team won the mandate to represent British Airways in the air cargo and passenger cartel proceedings across the Asia-Pacific area.”
