What people say?

Trevor acted for us in a complex dispute, which involved an arbitration in Singapore and recognition of the arbitral award in Australia. His advice and input enabled us to achieve a very favorable result. If you need a sensible and tough lawyer for commercial litigation, then you should try Trevor

Trevor, Patrick and their team are excellent to work with! Good technical legal advice and great client service. Many thanks!

Under Trevor Withane’s leadership, Ironbridge has in a very short period of time built itself up to be a leading litigation and insolvency boutique in the Sydney market. The firm offers the kind of high-end expertise, and ability to handle large and complex matters, that would usually be associated with much larger firms, yet without so many of the overheads that come with such large firms

Trevor has provided me with commercial legal advice on several occasions, both in Australia and the UK (where I first met him). Trevor quickly understood the commercial dynamics of the issues and responded promptly – a critical factor when a matter is time-sensitive. On every occasion, I found that Trevor gave clear and honest advice. The high quality of his advice demonstrated his calibre and experience as a high-end lawyer in both Australia and the UK. He is a great person to deal with – I would highly recommend him.
