Mergers and acquisitions can be one of the most complex areas of the corporate and commercial environment. The directors of public and private companies have an array of issues to navigate in successfully executing or defending a transaction. In addition to processing large amounts of documentation, stakeholders including retail shareholders, institutional investors, employees, regulators and financiers need to be managed as part of an overall strategy.
Cowell Clarke works with clients on takeovers, defences, private equity transactions, management buyouts, leveraged buyouts, shareholder buyouts, schemes of arrangement, and other relevant transactions. Our service offering covers all facets of the transaction from due diligence to the drafting and negotiating of documentation, and we have substantial experience working with regulators such as the FIRB, ASIC, ACCC, and ASX.
