Johnson Winter Slattery’s capital markets practice guides clients through the complexities of equity capital raisings in the public and private capital markets, helping them navigate regulatory hurdles and seize market opportunities. With extensive experience representing issuers, investors, lead managers and underwriters, JWS advises on IPOs and secondary offerings, including private placements, security purchase plans and entitlement offers, as well as capital management strategies such as buy-backs, capital reductions, consolidations and splits.
The team provides tailored, strategic insights and practical solutions to meet the different needs of issuers, investors and underwriters. They offer a proven track record in successful transactions, coupled with a deep understanding of market trends and regulatory requirements. From advice on regulatory issues, structuring and the preparation of disclosure documents to coordinating due diligence and managing compliance, JWS seeks to ensure a seamless legal process which supports (rather than stifles) transactions. With strong expertise in dealing with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), they also advise on relief applications to navigate complex regulatory issues.
