HOW WE CAN HELP

A successful capital markets transaction needs to achieve its financial objectives within the financial and legal parameters in this jurisdiction and globally. We are renowned for providing innovative advice on equity capital markets, new and existing financial structures and financial products. We have acted for many listed corporations in their equity capital markets transactions and have excellent working relationships with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, the Australian Securities Exchange and the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority.

Our team has a deep understanding of the specific requirements and approaches taken by issuers, underwriters and 'cornerstone' investors in initial public offering transactions. We also act on difficult and strategic capital management matters, including advising listed companies looking to undertake on-market buy-backs, entitlement offers or underwritten dividend reinvestment plans.
