Equity Capital Markets

Our clients benefit not only from our expert knowledge of the law and regulation in this area, but also our good working relationships with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Our equity capital markets team are experts in navigating the complex legal and regulatory frameworks that apply to capital markets transactions. We assist companies of varying sizes and in a diverse range of industries, as well as major shareholders and underwriters on the full range of equity transactions, including initial public offerings (IPOs) and secondary fundraisings.

Capital markets transactions often involve a team of other advisers. Our approach is to work collaboratively and proactively with our clients and their other advisers, including investment banks and accountants. This approach, combined with our legal expertise and ability to provide innovative solutions, are keys to our success in supporting our clients to achieve their commercial objectives within the required timeframes.
