Grenzüberschreitende Kompetenz

Seitdem unterstützt sie ihre Mandanten erfolgreich dabei, durch Schaffung einer soliden rechtlichen Grundlage für deren Geschäftstätigkeiten ihre Unternehmensergebnisse zu konsolidieren sowie ihre laufenden Interessen in Australien schützen.

Die Erfahrung von Argyll Law mit Auslandsunternehmen und deren australischen Niederlassungen und Tochtergesellschaften befähigt sie, so manche besondere Herausforderung zu verstehen, mit der Unternehmen konfrontiert sind, deren Mitarbeiterteams in Ländern mit unterschiedlichen Rechtssystemen tätig sind.

Unsere Mandanten können sich auf die Verwirklichung ihrer geschäftlichen Ziele konzentrieren und darauf vertrauen, dass ihre Rechtsverhältnisse ordnungsgemäß geregelt sind.

Far better prepared than the other side

The way Fiona puts things together is exceptional; it’s diligent and thorough. In the cases that she’s handled for us, I’ve noticed we’ve been far better prepared than the other side. And, of course, that is the reason why we were successful!! It was only because of how diligent and how thorough Fiona is

Some lawyers ruin a negotiation fighting over a point of law. Fiona gets the commercial element when she’s negotiating. She doesn’t push the legal points at the expense of reaching a good deal. That’s because she’s always listening to the client.

Maintains the human touch for her clients

Litigation can be a daunting maze, but Fiona was able to understand that it can be a rollercoaster, as well as break down what was happening so that we could work together effectively.

Somehow, Fiona has maintained the human touch while being aggressive in pursuit of the right result for her client.

Probing questions to get results

Fiona’s understanding of the business means she asks probing questions when we’re talking about a dispute or a claim we’re looking at pursuing.

She gets her head around the issues quickly and cuts through to what matters, including the commercial reasons why we would pursue one case and not another. And then she keeps us focused on what’s important.

She’s also able to use different strategies to get a positive result, not just litigation. If you can get the result you want without going to court, that’s excellent.

Focused on the actual issues

A common tactic in legal representation is for the other side to make claims and counterclaims to keep your lawyer distractedly spending your money chasing everything down. It’s a trap to wear you down and tie up your lawyer on things that aren’t the main point.

Fiona doesn’t let that happen. She keeps the matter focused on the end goal and the actual issues.

Also, with Fiona, you don’t get passed through the firm to people who might not understand your business. You’re dealing with Fiona, with her extensive network of colleagues and barristers.

Rapid grasp of key concepts in complicated matters

Even though our matter was involved, and I had to send through a lot of documentation, Fiona grasped the whole overview and concept of everything really, really quickly.

I was surprised how little we had to explain. Instead, she quickly gave us a detached, professional opinion about whether our case was worth pursuing.

With Fiona, it’s not like sitting with lawyers in boardrooms, getting bombarded or feeling like you’re a nuisance. It was actually pleasant.

Excellent cross-cultural communicator

Fiona immediately understood the size of our business and the scale of our problem — being treated dismissively by a larger company. She knew exactly how to defend us. Now, they know her by name in the home office and often ask for her opinion.

Fiona is a great lawyer and an adept cross-cultural communicator. She’s insightful, listens well and provides seasoned advice with great customer service.

We appreciate that our work isn’t handed down to a junior associate; it’s handled by Fiona herself with all her skill. And with her experience, she quickly understands our context and the situation, and gives it due consideration and comes back with options that I would not have come up with myself.

Achieved all our goals

We found a competitor had substantially copied part of our software so asked Fiona to provide advice regarding our legal options and also how to manage aspects of the media communications.

The outcome was better than we expected, and we achieved all our goals. Fiona’s advice was invaluable.

Using the law to get the right outcomes

Fiona is an exceptional lawyer who blends her ethics and morality into the way she practices law. Rather than using the law as a weapon, she leverages it as a guide to get the right outcomes.

All of the business and personal matters Fiona has handled for us have been dealt with professionally and successfully.

Culturally sensitive and tactful — but frank

Fiona’s assistance has been invaluable in negotiating the terms of several joint venture agreements and in resolving a few potentially expensive disputes, avoiding the need to commence court proceedings.

Fiona’s legal advice is always honest, practical and commercial. She has the ability to analyse a problem and master the detail whilst not losing sight of the big picture and commerciality of the situation. She explains complex legal concepts clearly and at a level that can be easily understood and applied in a commercial context.

At times her advice has needed to be frank and not necessarily what I wanted to hear. In those circumstances, she has always managed to communicate that advice with tact and understanding.

In addition to being an excellent lawyer, I have really appreciated the respect and sensitivity which she has shown towards my indigenous cultural heritage.

Negotiating excellent results

Fiona has saved us a lot of money negotiating complex contracts with large corporate venues. Her skills negotiating with difficult individuals and keeping track of the details while not losing sight of our broader goals are fantastic.

She achieved a great outcome for us every time.

She’s also helped me to be across the myriad legal issues and requirements that are often overwhelming when you don’t have in-house lawyers.

I am so grateful for her expertise, friendly manner and integrity.
