I've particularly been impressed with Angelina Lagana. She is highly knowledgeable on tax matters – but I've been most impressed by the way she is able to manage difficult processes in a calm and measured fashion. She seeks commercial resolutions and positions and deals with our senior management well.
Angelina Lagana as the national practice leader is a standout in her ability to co-ordinate large matters, whether they are advice-based or dispute-based matters.
For counsel, it is great that any lawyer working on the matter make themselves promptly available to provide instructions and discuss matters. Angelina Lagana and Craig Boyle are fantastic at responding to counsel queries quickly and provide instructions that are exactly what counsel ask for. I appreciate the efficiency of their practice.
