Gilbert + Tobin is thrilled to have advised Guzman y Gomez (GYG), one of Australia’s most well-known and fastest growing QSR businesses, on its IPO and ASX listing. The offer of GYG shares will raise $242.5 million and on completion of the IPO, GYG will have a market capitalisation of approximately $2.2 billion, based on the IPO offer price.

GYG operates or franchises over 200 restaurants in Australia, Singapore, Japan, and the United States, with another 30 new restaurants planned for FY25.

G+T’s market leading Equity Capital Markets team was led by partner Adam D’Andreti with support from partner Hiroshi Narushima, special counsel Lucy Hall, lawyers Kevin Zhou, James Fisher, Mary Valtas, Jasmine Haddad, Joshua Giesser and Olivia Tabbernal.

Adam commented: "It has been a privilege for us to have supported GYG on its IPO and ASX-listing. GYG is a founder-led business which is a fantastic Australian success story and I am proud of the contributions every member of the G+T team has made to help GYG reach this massive milestone. It has been well documented how challenging the Australian IPO market has been of late but GYG's approach demonstrates there is strong appetite there from investors which is ready to be tapped." 

G+T also advised GYG on its ‘pre-IPO’ funding round announced in April 2024.
