What the Team is Known For

Maddocks stands out for its mid-market focus, ready access to partners and close attention to client service, and adept handling of technically complex matters. Its comprehensive sector coverage includes prominent activity in the agriculture, healthcare and retail sectors and is backed by the ability to advise on related commercial and taxation issues. The team offers niche expertise in the representation of the founders of companies looking to sell off all or a majority stake to private equity sponsors. It is active advising listed companies on multi-jurisdictional acquisitions and also represents notable private equity outfits in acquisitions and disposals.

Strengths

I found all team members to be professional and knowledgeable in all the tasks they were given. I could not fault their balanced and measured advice and they fully explained the risks at every step.

Maddocks shares information within the team really well. The whole team has the context and background, and it doesn't have to be explained again.

The Maddocks team is pragmatic, down-to-earth and easy to deal with.

Work Highlights

Maddocks advised Capitol Health on its merger with Integral Diagnostics to create an AUD1 billion medical diagnostic imaging company.

Maddocks acted as due diligence and transaction document advisers to SilverTree Equity Partners on the Australian aspects of a growth equity investment by FTV Capital into SilverTree’s portfolio company, Orbus Software.

Notable practitioners

Ron Smooker is an experienced adviser on sophisticated structuring mandates and M&A, joint venture and financing transactions. He advises both ASX-listed and unlisted clients, operating across a variety of industries. He is based in Melbourne.
