What the Team is Known For

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.

Strengths

The team have very strong commercial awareness. They provide advice beyond the pure legal analysis and judgements to facilitate a transaction. 

Minters are able to adjust their style accordingly, which is helpful. The main thing is that they are very commercial in approach.

Work Highlights

The firm also advised Australian law firm Slater & Gordon on its partnership with Allegro Funds, which resulted in Slater & Gordon's privatisation and delisting.

MinterEllison acted for J-Power on its proposed acquisition of Genex.

Notable practitioners

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