PGC Legal is pleased to announce its inclusion in the recommended category for Leading Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution Law Firms – South Australia, 2026 in Doyle’s Guide. The firm also congratulates Brenton Priestley on his inclusion in the leading category for Leading Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution Lawyers – South Australia, 2026.

These recognitions reflect the strength of the firm’s litigation practice and the collective effort of its people in delivering consistent, high quality outcomes for clients.

Firm recognition

Doyle’s Guide rankings are based on peer review and industry feedback, identifying firms recognised for their expertise, professionalism, and results in their practice areas.

PGC Legal’s inclusion in the recommended category highlights:

• its experience across a broad range of commercial disputes;
• its strategic, outcome focused approach; and
• its commitment to clear, practical advice.

Partner Peter Charatsis said the recognition reflects the depth of the firm rather than any single individual.

‘This acknowledgement is a credit to the entire PGC Legal team. Our lawyers, law clerks and support staff all play a critical role in delivering the level of service our clients expect. Commercial litigation is rarely the work of one person — it is a coordinated team effort from start to finish.’

Recognition of Brenton Priestley

PGC Legal also congratulates Brenton Priestley on his inclusion in the leading category, recognising him as one of the most highly regarded commercial litigation and dispute resolution lawyers in South Australia.

This category reflects peer recognition of leadership within the profession and acknowledges Brenton’s:

• depth of experience in complex commercial disputes;
• strong advocacy and strategic judgment; and
• consistent delivery of successful outcomes for clients.

Brenton acknowledged the significance of the recognition and the contribution of those around him.

‘I am grateful to be recognised by my peers in this year’s Doyle’s Guide. This is very much a reflection of the team I work with every day. The preparation, analysis, and client support that happens behind the scenes is critical to every matter we run.’

He added:

‘Our focus at PGC Legal is always on achieving practical, commercial outcomes for our clients, and this recognition reinforces that approach.’

The role of the broader team

PGC Legal recognises that these achievements are underpinned by the work of its broader team, including senior associates, solicitors, law clerks, and administrative staff.

From managing documents and timelines, to coordinating communications and supporting litigation strategy, much of the work that enables successful outcomes takes place behind the scenes. This collective effort ensures that matters progress efficiently and that clients receive consistent, high quality service at every stage.

Peter Charatsis noted:

‘The strength of our litigation practice lies in the capability and dedication of our people. Every matter benefits from careful preparation, attention to detail, and a shared commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for the client.’

Commitment to clients

PGC Legal acknowledges that these recognitions are driven by the trust and support of its clients and professional peers.

The firm remains committed to:

• providing clear, practical, and commercially focused advice;
• resolving disputes efficiently and effectively; and
• maintaining the highest professional standards.

PGC Legal thanks its clients and colleagues for their continued support and looks forward to building on these achievements in 2026 and beyond.
