“Regularly turned to by clients needing top tier counsel on bet-the-company litigation, Mallesons is home to one of the finest dispute teams in Australia. Its leading reputation for contentious matters runs right through its practice areas, with strengths in competition, financial services regulation, IP, technology, tax and construction disputes supplementing the firm's general strengths in corporate litigation. Its role in disputes, such as the ongoing Telstra/C7 competition litigation (acting for Telstra) and two class actions against British Airways related to cartel activity in the cargo industry, is testament to the firm's ability to advise on the most high-profile matters. Infrastructure access disputes, where the firm successfully combines its competition, projects and litigation expertise, have been an active practice of late.”

Although based in Hong Kong, much of the team's work is regional in nature, encompassing disputes in Macau and the Greater China region. Its strong ties with financial institutions is also leading to more instructions for its disputes team, with the firm representing a number of its sector clients in proceedings brought by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures”
