Mallesons Stephen Jaques
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mallesons Stephen Jaques is a premier commercial law firm that operates in the Asia-Pacific region.
In Australia it is considered one of the top two commercial law firms. Allens Arthur Robinson is sometimes regarded as Mallesons' equal. Opinions vary as to which firm is better. Mallesons and Allens, together with Freehills, are regarded as the definitive top three commercial law firms in Australia.
Mallesons is in the Governor Macquarie and Governor Philip towers at 1 Farrer Place, Sydney. The two buildings are sandwiched between Young and Philip Streets. Farrer Place refers to the paved area and garden at the front of the building complex.
Mallesons uses the top 10 levels in the Governor Philip Tower to house its lawyers and three levels in the Governor Macquarie Tower to house its support staff. Incidentally, the NSW Executive Government offices are also in the Governor Macquarie Tower, occupying the whole top half of the building, with its own lift well guarded by officers of the NSW Police Force.
