“I’ve worked with a lot of legal minds over the years but Patrick stands apart. Not only for his command of the law, but as a deep thinker on the role of the justice system and debates on law reform.”

Former PM Kevin Rudd
"Patrick George’s principal attribute is judgment – capital J judgment. He is not for grandstanding or beat-ups...He has many victories."

Former PM Paul Keating
"There are lots of talented lawyers but few have such a broad skill set and the emotional intelligence to know who else can contribute to the team needed to act across a range of possible pathways to resolve the matter. If it's your life which is on the line I could not imagine who better to act."

Chambers and Partners
"Rebekah embodies what every lawyer should strive to be in all facets of the practice of law. A client cannot ask for a better advocate."

Chambers and Partners
"Described by one client as a “very intelligent, very impressive, full-service reputational lawyer who wins most of her cases” and ''particularly well known for her tenacious representation of prominent public figures and business clients facing disciplinary action or accusations of professional negligence."

Chambers and Partners
"A very charismatic negotiator who knows when to compromise and when to push hard, and is good at getting the appropriate outcome."

Chambers and Partners
"Combines a deep, intellectual knowledge of the law with a practical and commercial approach to complex problems."

Legal 500
"Market commentators admire him as a lawyer who is "both technically and strategically sound."

Chambers and Partners
"Patrick George is adept at representing high-profile private clients and individuals with celebrity status in sensitive media law and defamation actions."

Legal 500
"He is particularly well known for his representation of leading politicians, including former Commonwealth prime ministers, and of noted sporting bodies."

Chambers and Partners
"Excellent at translating complex legal issues into digestible form” and is further recommended as a cool-headed, commercial lawyer who “knows how to handle difficult, unusual or unpredictable situations."

Chambers and Partners
"A charming street fighter who has become a go-to person for politicians and other public figures - for example Senator Sarah Hanson-Young and Coalition staffer Brittany Higgins - because of her willingness to prosecute their case in public as well as the courts."

Australian Financial Review
"She has become the go-to lawyer for anyone of wealth or power whose life has been blown apart by scandal."

The Sydney Morning Herald
"…adroitly capitalising on a largely untapped market for reputation damage."

The Australian
“Patrick is an outstanding lawyer. His advice is always considered and pragmatic. I relied greatly on him during my lengthy tenure as AOC president.”

Former President of the Australian Olympic Committee, Current Vice President of the International Olympic Committee
"It goes without saying that I am beyond grateful to have had Patrick and Sue (Chrysanthou SC) as my lawyers and that their reputations as the best in their field doesn't even do them justice. Patrick and Sue are both gifted with that effortless intellect and killer instinct that no amount of study can acquire. It's amazing to watch. I can't recommend them more highly."
