INTERNATIONAL CAPABILITIES

We advise on global transactions. We work on cross-border and international deals as Australian counsel or lead counsel advising on transactional, competition and financing issues for some of the largest global healthcare players. The matters our IP and litigation lawyers are engaged in are invariably multi-jurisdiction disputes concerning globally significant technologies. Most of our partners and many of our lawyers have also practised in other jurisdictions at top-tier overseas firms (particularly London, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore). We enjoy close 'best friends' relationships with the leading firms in all key foreign jurisdictions. This means we are not tied to the pre-determined connections of larger international firms but can provide seamless cross-border advice utilising the best lawyers in each jurisdiction.
