Today marks a new era for Mallesons as the top-tier independent firm from Australia, a full-service firm trusted on the most complex and consequential matters across our region and around the world.
As an independent firm, Mallesons will complement its partnership and over 1,200 lawyers in Australia and Singapore with long-standing relationships with elite firms around the world to connect clients with the right expertise in the right jurisdiction for every matter.
This strategic repositioning will further strengthen Mallesons’ #1 market standing. For 8 consecutive years, the firm has had more Band 1 practices and Band 1 individuals in Chambers and Legal 500 than any other firm in the Australian market. Mallesons will continue to build on this platform and set the standard for legal excellence and client service in this market and beyond.
Commenting on the transition, Chief Executive Partner Renae Lattey said:
“All business is facing unprecedented disruption and uncertainty. We’re here to be the firm they trust most with their future in a world that never stands still. To make an outsized impact. Whether clients are strengthening locally or expanding globally, Mallesons delivers full-service capability and brings together the best minds from across our firm to support them.”
Chair David Friedlander added:
“We are grateful for the past 14 years in partnership with King & Wood and we wish them all the best for their future. This is an exciting new chapter for both firms. For us, as we move forward as Mallesons we have clarity and confidence in our future direction. We look forward to building on our 200 year history with a new strategic focus as an independent firm that offers agility and ingenuity when it matters most.”
