Acting for issuers, joint lead managers and selling shareholders, we have smoothly and successfully managed some of the most significant capital raisings in the Australian market. Our lawyers have acted on a number of the largest and most complex initial public offerings (IPOs), shareholder sell-downs and secondary and hybrid raisings of Australian corporates in each of the last five years.
This means you'll get lawyers whose experience, resources and project management skills ensure they can deal with changing timeframes and market-driven variables at short notice.
What we offer
Our dedicated team of ECM practitioners with market-leading credentials understand the latest developments and trends in equity fundraising techniques and security types.
We take pride in our reputation as lawyers who get in and get the work done, keeping the client's business objectives at the forefront and understanding the drivers of all participants in the process.
Our team works closely and cohesively with the managers and underwriters to offerings. Several senior team members have worked in-house with major investment banks, giving us a clear understanding of their commercial drivers and requirements.
Contributing to a smoothly run process is our strong working relationships with key regulators and industry bodies, including the Australian Securities Exchange, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the Foreign Investment Review Board and Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, and our comprehensive understanding of their requirements and procedures.
While our focus is on Australian equity markets, our lawyers also work with our international legal partners on offerings which extend beyond Australia and into the Asian, European and North American capital markets.
