Corporate/M&A

Minter Ellison has impressive Australasian coverage and facilitates the support of cross-jurisdictional transactions with its offices in China, Mongolia and London. The firm has longstanding experience advising on China-related M&A and corporate finance matters and often acts for Hong Kong-listed companies, but also represents Mainland clients in regional and international transactions from its Greater China offices. It is active on both public takeovers and privatisations, and noted for its adept handling of energy and resources, financial services, and technology and telecommunications mandates. The firm advises a significant number of regional private equity firms on substantial transactions and is further noted for close attention to client objectives, including assistance in the identification of transactional risk and the development of negotiation strategies.

"The team displayed not only legal acumen but commercial awareness and skilled stakeholder management. This is definitely a multi-skilled offering which is solution-oriented rather than black letter law-constrained."

MinterEllison acted for AMP on the sale of its Global Equities and Fixed Income business to Macquarie Asset Management.

Constantine Boulougouris and Joseph Pace are key contacts for the firm in Australia. Barbara Mok is a key contact in Hong Kong.
