What Clients Say

Recently, Brett Thorneycroft and his M&A team assisted us with securing a large project involving the acquisition of multiple assets, transfer of staff and ongoing management and licencing agreements. AV&M’s client was a large international investment fund, and the commercial documentation and interactions with the various parties involved with the project were complex. This project involved work that was fast-paced, complex and technical. From the outset, Brett and his team provided exceptional service and worked tirelessly to meet tight deadlines and changing circumstances. This often involved late nights and weekend work, all of which was completed efficiently and effectively. Brett’s skills, experience and counsel were of great value and with the support from his team, assisted us in successfully completing the transaction. AV&M has worked with the DW Fox Tucker team for many years on a range of matters including commercial, tax, property, employment, workers compensation and IP and we would have no hesitation in recommending DW Fox Tucker to anyone looking for trusted legal advisors.

I decided to seek the advice of DW Fox Tucker’s specialist agribusiness team to assist with a complex commercial agreement. The agreement was going to be critical in opening our business to new sources of revenue, and it would cement our position as a market leader for years to come. From the very first meeting, I was very impressed with their knowledge of the grain industry and the professionalism they displayed in handling this matter. Brett and Victoria took the time to understand every aspect of my business and what I needed to achieve from this agreement. They were responsive, efficient and respectful - working with me every step of the way to achieve a terrific outcome. After such a great experience, I’ll have no hesitation in appointing DW Fox Tucker as my legal advisors for future legal matters.
