Strengths
"Wendy Ray is excellent and covers us on everything. She's pretty much our go-to for Australian transactions and FDI and antitrust."
"Wendy in my experience is best in her class. When we submit an application we usually get many questions from FIRB, but that doesn't happen with her, as she has done so much research we get approvals very quickly."
"She is the go-to person for the particular type of transaction we have. She is renowned for being an expert in the area. I trust her on any big corporate transaction."
"She's very tailored, very practical, solution-based and very responsive."
"She gives us guidance on our transactions and goes the extra mile to understand the transaction and the business. She approaches it in a calm and considered way and always makes it possible."
