Corporate law

We regularly advise our clients on a range of Corporations Act matters including directors duties, constitutions, capital issuance and structures, and winding up.

We have advised many clients on mergers and the acquisition and disposal of business assets, including purchase and sale agreements and statutory mergers.

Mergers and acquisitions
Our lawyers have acted on numerous mergers of Authorised Deposit Taking Institutions (ADIs), including transfers of engagements and schemes of arrangement. We’ve also advised on the purchase or sale of credit card companies, hotel chains, commercial properties, industrial businesses, and media and pharma companies, both in Australia and internationally.

In addition, we can undertake discrete roles on M&A transactions, such as specialist due diligence on regulatory matters, and representation of boards of directors.

Capital markets
