The firm said today that Wytenburg is one of Australia's leading lawyers in leveraged and acquisition financing. He has been listed in Best Lawyers since 2009 in Banking and Finance, Leveraged Buyouts and Project and Finance Development and has a Band 1 ranking in Chambers Asia Pacific and Chambers Global for B&F Acquisition Finance.

Wytenburg’s recent deals include Bain Capital's acquisition of MYOB, recently awarded Asia Pacific Loan Market Association Private Equity Deal of the Year 2011.
