Amanda Cefai (Burrows)

Mandy is the person you want in your corner when things become contentious. She is also a co-founder of the firm.

Having spent over 15 years managing disputes across a vast range of areas, Mandy is the person you want in your corner when things become contentious. Not one for drama, her calm approach can diffuse even the most stressful situations.

Mandy’s success has been built on her ability to quickly assess risk and implement strategies to drive resolutions tailored to commercial interests.

She believes that the key with disputes is to look at them as a predictable course of business - and that with any dispute, no matter what the subject matter is, you need to know your prospects of success and the options you have; specifically including what each of those options will look like and what they will likely cost. That’s how you remain in control.

Mandy is approachable, responsive, and committed to providing the best possible service. She is highly regarded by both her clients and her colleagues due to the genuine relationships she creates, which was an integral value in the creation of AB.

She has experience representing clients' interests across proceedings instituted in Federal, Supreme, District, and Local Courts together with the Coroners Court throughout the Australian jurisdictions, where she has acted for ASX listed companies, international corporations, government agencies, strata corporations, and clients across various industries such as construction, financial services, professional services (accounting, legal and health), insurance, real estate, retail, and security.

Despite raising three girls and running a law firm, Mandy’s unmatched organisational skills mean she still finds time to be a keen golfer, and she is widely regarded as the person you want on your table at any long lunch.
