Through IFSA, Isuzu Australia will cover all aspects of commercial vehicle ownership, providing full operational support throughout a vehicle’s lifecycle and offering maintenance leasing integrated with new vehicle sales. 

The Hall & Wilcox team was led by partner Chris Brown, supported by partners Ben Hamilton, Mark Inston, Eugene Chen and Jake Uljans, Special Counsel Angelica Huang, Senior Associate Rebecca Radbone and Associate Jodie Wootton. 

Chris Brown said, ‘We were grateful for the opportunity to work with our long-standing client Isuzu Australia on this ground-breaking joint venture. We were able to deploy a focused, specialist team from across our practice to add value for Isuzu and the joint venture.’
