Mergers & acquisitions
Overview
Our team advises on transactions of all sizes across a range of sectors. We have a strong track record advising on M&A transactions for clients in the construction, chemical, consumer goods, engineering, financial services, aged and community care, health services, hospitality, information and communications technology (ICT) and manufacturing sectors.
Every transaction is different and requires a different mix of expertise. Our M&A team often draws on the expertise of our competition, banking and finance, property, tax and employment lawyers to ensure our team’s skillset meets the needs of each transaction. We are also known for the collaborative approach with which we work with our clients’ other advisors.
One of the advantages of the longevity of our client relationships is that we know our clients’ businesses, and the industries they operate in. This knowledge plays a vital role in M&A transactions, which often occur in tight time limits.
Our experience enables us to deliver clear-sighted, practical advice on large and mid-market transactions. We assist clients and their advisors with:
- business and company acquisitions and divestments
- competitive sales processes
- distressed and forced sales
- M&A-related employment and workplace issues

- joint ventures
- partnership agreements
- shareholder agreements
