Exceptional Capability, Accessibility and Commerciality

“Most lawyers would say – “this is not possible, or we have a problem here” and look at you with a sense of pride in accomplishing their mission of advising you of the legal aspects of the thing you try to do. Paul Miller would instead say “There is a problem here, but here is a solution we could explore” and that approach moves things forward at a much quicker pace.”

“At Eucalyptus, within the 3 years of our existence and over $100m raised, we go through fundraising discussions every 4-5 months. Deutsch Miller, led by Paul Miller, helped us with every single one and that fact alone is a huge vote of confidence in their skill and I am grateful for their support”.

“Alistair and the DM team are highly valued business partners who are always available for the legal guidance our accounting firm needs. Alistair’s commercial experience and attention to detail has maximised commercial outcomes for all the clients we’ve referred, and we have no hesitation referring him for any deals or matters.”

“We are a Family Office that oversees a variety of operating and investing activities, with complex structures and legal requirements. Alistair and his team have helped us with numerous projects over recent years and months. We have found them to be responsive, diligent, and refreshingly pragmatic in our dealings with them.”

“I have worked with Alistair and the broader Deutsch Miller team on a number of successful mid-market transactions over the past few years and they always manage to strike the right balance between getting the best outcome for their clients and being commercial and pragmatic in negotiations, to ensure that deals get across the line. I would not hesitate to recommend Alistair and his team and look forward to collaborating on many more successful transactions in the future.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Alistair at Deutsch Miller for over 15 years. He has successfully advised us on numerous mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructures and guided us on new business ventures. Alistair and his high performing team have provided efficient resolutions and allowed us to remain focused. They work to very tight deadlines and are always proactive.”

“Paula did a fantastic job supporting our busy Project Finance & Infastructure sector during her time with us and covered some large $, high profile transactions. Paula showed good attention to detail and a strong work ethic.”

“The partners at DM are all specialists in their own field, and pride themselves on imparting that specialist knowledge for the benefit of their clients”.

“Deutsch Miller has a highly experienced and capable dispute resolution team who provide an excellent service. Their strength is their ability to develop rapport with their clients on litigated matters, and this is driven by their accessibility and flexibility. The Deutsch Miller team have the practical experience and analytical skills to achieve the results sought by their clients”.

“The disputes practice has an outstanding skill set for this work. They see the key issues in complex matters and quickly act to address them. They are responsive, practical, commercial and understand the jurisdictions they operate in and the best remedies or defences available”.

“Mark Deutsch is an exceptional litigator with an extremely impressive knowledge of the law”.

“While one would prefer not to be involved in legal disputes, DM and Mark Deutsch make the process more relaxed and are excellent at dispersing anxiety and worry through well informed guidance and outcomes”.

“Mark Deutsch is an exceptional lawyer – razor-sharp brain while maintaining a personal and warm approach to his work. I trust him to get me the best result”.

“Shane Anderton and named partner Mark Deutsch are both senior providers of reliable and trusted advice”.

“Shane Anderton is adept at articulating legal strategy clearly and concisely”.

“Paula is the lawyer that you always want working with you! She is business minded, adept at spotting risks, a self-starter who needs little direction to complete work and produces well thought out and thorough work product. In addition, she is personable and the kind of lawyer that you don’t mind being stuck in a conference room in negotiations for weeks on end. I suspect Paula would be great at client development based on her combination of legal and people skills. A great lawyer, who is enjoyable to work with – who could ask for more?”

“I have found Paula to be highly responsive and she strikes just the right balance between technicality and commerciality. While she clearly has a very good legal brain she does not get bogged down in the detail and sees the bigger picture. In short she was an asset to the deal that we worked on together.”

“The service that HSBC received from Paula was very professional, her communications were clear and concise and she was very supportive on the back of a tricky negotiation process. Paula was able to analyse and assess the changes required and provide comments in a very short span of time which assisted greatly. I should also add that Paula was always available for a call even at the 11th hour!”

“We did not get a chance to catch up after the settlement on Friday, and I had to get to the bank before it closed – so I did not get a chance to say thank you for all your efforts in getting it all done. I know it has been a rather tortuous journey and I appreciated all your help and patience – you did a great job talking the other parties off the ledge at a couple of critical junctures and we could not have proceeded without your timely interventions. You saved the day!”

“I have known Paula for a number of years going back to our time working as colleagues at Travelex Limited. Last November, I asked Paula to assist with registering Interchange FX Pty Ltd here in Australia. Paula also assisted with my employment contract as Managing Director of Interchange FX Pty Ltd. As in Paula’s capacity as a colleague at Travelex, and now as external legal counsel to Interchange Group, I find Paula professional, prompt, flexible and able to provide appropriate counsel for my requests. More importantly, Paula follows up with me to check if I require clarification on her advice or if there is anything further that she or KWM can do for Interchange Group. I highly value my business relationship with Paula.”
