Unique, timely and practical insights on whether the deal will get through.
Our specialist Merger Arbitrage practice is a one-stop shop for international investors seeking advice on competition, foreign investment and corporate issues in significant M&A transactions.
Mergers and acquisitions in Australia are increasingly complex and require approvals from regulators. In order to maximise financial positions, investors need to understand the ins and outs of these processes and the prospects of approval. At JWS, our lawyers are trusted by some of the country’s largest corporates to get their deal through the regulator. When not acting on the deal itself, our team can assist by providing unique, timely and practical advice on the regulatory issues and key risks involved. For more information about how our team can help answer your questions and provide guidance to your business on any of these issues, contact our Merger Arbitrage practice group lead Sar Katdare.
