Our corporate lawyers have represented participants in some of Australia’s largest transactions and provided advice on the implementation of company transforming deals, specialising in Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and Equity Capital Markets (ECM).

We are supported by specialist finance, tax, competition, property and IP lawyers who can assist in the resolution of a range of issues related to complex corporate and M&A matters, including ACCC merger clearances, transaction structuring, tax rulings, negotiation of acquisition finance facilities and due diligence.

Leading corporations work with us on a full range of M&A transactions, from innovative public takeover bids and major private-treaty acquisitions and disposals, to privatisations and complex court approved mergers by scheme of arrangement and large scale due diligence exercises. Our experience extends to stapling arrangements and asset transfer schemes, as well as the tax, competition and financing aspects of merger and acquisition deals.

Our industry experience is broad, covering a range of sectors and industries including energy and resources, agribusiness, financial services, media, transport, wine and other beverages, building products and consumer products.

We regularly engage with regulators (ASIC, ASX and the Takeovers Panel) and are actively involved in industry bodies and contribute to leading edge developments in mergers and acquisitions.
