Client Testimonials

I’m so grateful to Kirsten for the incredible advice and support she has given me while exploring a business purchase. She took the time to understand what I was trying to achieve and offered practical, creative ideas for structuring a deal, explaining the legal considerations in plain English. Her knowledge of business acquisitions and different deal structures really stood out. She could see possibilities I hadn’t considered and helped me understand how they might work, while being honest about the risks and what needed further investigation. I came away feeling clearer, more informed and supported. I highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, commercially minded lawyer who takes a thoughtful approach to putting a business deal together. Thank you, Kirsten!

I was super grateful for Kirsten and Melanie helping me out after two other law firms had messed me around! They were honest, transparent and really understood my needs and came up with a solution so my business could still achieve the objectives needed in the timeframe ! Thankyou!

Janina was a pleasure to work with and quick to pick up the intricacies of my business, made a real difference helping turn things around quickly.

In the fast-paced Managed Services industry, it's important to have partners who are as agile, responsive and dependable with our needs as we are with our clients. DLC Legal has been that partner for Cymax for several years. Kirsten and her team have consistently been responsive, professional and prompt, providing practical legal advice and support whenever required.

Over the years, I have also referred DLC Legal to a number of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) across Australia. Without exception, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Those organisations have consistently praised the professionalism, expertise and responsiveness of the DLC Legal team, reinforcing our own experience that they are a firm of the highest calibre. If you're looking for an exceptional legal partner, you've found one in DLC Legal.

I sought the expertise of Kirsten and her team at DLC Legal for the purpose of negotiating my exiting a business and overseeing the share sale. Throughout the process, Kirsten has been incredible in her guidance, and persistence in negotiating the best possible outcome. Kirsten was able to draw on a team of valuable colleagues, who were able to consult and advise on a variety of issues with my case. I cannot thank Kirsten enough for all she has done, not only with this particular case, but with advice and education which I will use as I move forward with new projects. I highly recommend Kirsten and her team and will be returning to engage her legal services.

Kirsten is an outstanding lawyer and manager with over 20 years’ experience across transport, defence and related technology sectors. When engaged with my team, Kirsten became a trusted adviser to me who demonstrated her ability as a strategic thinker with highly developed analytic and communication skills. Kirsten managed a wide and diverse portfolio of complex head and supplier contracts, negotiating changes and dealing directly with senior management. She has proven leadership capability with technical and contracts teams, direct management, and at strategic executive levels. Kirsten has the drive and passion to do what is necessary to meet challenging deadlines and workloads, committed to outcomes and bringing her team with her. Kirsten is a true professional in her field - reliable, insightful, knowledgeable and a complete pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation recommending Kirsten's outstanding performance, drive, knowledge and leadership skills.

Kirsten has proven her ability to manage a cross-functional team and make sound decisions in a fast paced and dynamic environment. She demonstrated an aptitude for stakeholder management liaising with and obtaining agreement of a high number of stakeholders all with differing priorities and managed to do so in line with an aggressive schedule to release tender documents to market for a project with an expected value of $500M AUD. Managing both the commercial and legal aspects of the tender release Kirsten was able to achieve an on time and superior quality product. The evidence of this is now being realised as the project moves into final negotiations with little if any change required to the original documentation.
