ABOUT

MBC Lawyers Pty Limited,
trading as Mangioni Biggs + Co,
is an incorporated legal practice.

The founders of Mangioni Biggs + Co are Robert Mangioni, John Biggs and David McGuiness, all of whom were previously directors of Watson Mangioni, a highly successful boutique law firm that Robert co-founded in 1994. Our senior lawyers also include John Murray, Michael France, Silvana Jovcevska, Veronica Travierso and Lisa Sinclair, and, together with our COO Mario Malandrino, most of the senior members of the firm have worked together for more than two decades.

Mangioni Biggs + Co is a specialised Sydney-based law firm which undertakes legal work of a transactional or litigious nature – however big or small, however complex or personal – across a broad range of practice areas. The firm is recognised by both ‘Best Lawyers’ and ‘Doyles Guide’ as one of Australia’s leading law firms in its core areas of practice.

Our particular areas of specialisation are:

Commercial  |  Corporate  |  Insolvency  |  Litigation  |  Private Clients  |  Property  |  Regulatory

The businesses to which we commonly provide our services are diverse, ranging from health sciences to property finance and development, from entertainment to insolvency services, from banking and finance to technology, to name just a few.

Mangioni Biggs + Co provides an effective alternative to large and medium sized law firms. We do this by ensuring that our clients have direct and continued access to our highly experienced partners and senior practitioners, who are recognised experts in their field, acknowledged in both legal and business circles for providing reliable and robust legal representation designed to achieve exceptional commercial outcomes for our clients, in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Mangioni Biggs + Co provides:

  • Clear, concise, accurate and commercially-relevant legal advice.
  • Constructive and collaborative engagement.
  • Inventive solutions where required for complex and challenging problems.
  • Tenacity in difficult situations (particularly in litigation).
  • Timely results-driven service provided by experienced specialists focused on our clients’ objectives and who don’t waste time on point-scoring or paper-shuffling.
  • Regular and open communication with clients on the status of each matter to ensure that the client’s expectations are fully understood and met.
  • Efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Our clients include large private companies, ASX-listed companies, company directors and senior executives, accountants and other professional advisors, corporate advisors and stock brokers, insolvency practitioners, industry bodies, high-net-worth individuals and families, and smaller private clients.

Our referral base is broad. It includes existing and past clients, other lawyers, accountants, corporate advisors and other professionals, who acknowledge and respect our expertise.

From major high-profile business transactions and commercial disputes to smaller private highly-sensitive confidential matters, Mangioni Biggs + Co has the expertise and experience to provide trusted and valued legal services that result in the formation of long-lasting relationships with our clients and contacts.

Mangioni Biggs + Co doesn’t aspire to be a ‘one stop shop’. We focus on doing what we do well. When appropriate, we work closely with other specialists. These may be other lawyers, accountants or other professional advisors who have an existing relationship with our client, or who we recommend to assist in a particular role.

Mangioni Biggs + Co is a Sydney-based firm. We are able to provide legal services in other jurisdictions on a ‘fly in-fly out’ basis. Our lawyers have often been engaged to act in interstate and international cross-border litigation and commercial matters. In the event that we need to use interstate or international lawyers or other professional advisors on our matters, we have long-established trusted relationships with relevant professionals in other states and countries who have a similar approach to ours.

We are comfortable in providing the names of clients to whom you can speak confidentially in considering whether or not to retain Mangioni Biggs + Co as your legal representatives.
