Finance and capital structuring
Our lawyers specialise in advising public and private companies who are seeking to optimise their corporate structures.
We're a highly experienced legal team with the knowledge to support you and your business throughout its journey – from an emerging enterprise to a medium- or large-sized entity. We work closely with you and your other advisers to gain a comprehensive understanding of your business and corporate capital structure. This is balanced with a detailed consideration of costs, business outcomes and risk profiles associated with each structuring decision.
All businesses need to evolve according to growth (organic and inorganic), market conditions, and changes in strategy. Restructuring is often an efficient way to pursue commercial outcomes.
Discover a spectrum of capital fundraising and management options for your business or venture, with expert support covering preparatory structuring, due diligence, and post-listing corporate governance.
Explore the advantages and disadvantages of listing on the ASX, as well as managing the initial public offering (IPO). We assist private companies, and act for foreign entities who are considering an ASX listing as a way to access the Australian market.
Access first-hand experience and support in private equity and venture capital for start-ups and early-stage businesses, helping emerging enterprises to navigate the legal risks and issues associated with raising funds through angel or seed investors, venture capital, and other forms of private equity.
