Thomsons has one of the largest and most respected mergers and acquisitions teams in Australia.
Our lawyers understand the complexities of modern business and how to successfully navigate regulatory and transactional regimes.
With a focus on strategic goals, our approach is pragmatic and action oriented. We provide advice on company takeovers, takeover defences, capital raisings, acquisitions, divestments, mergers and reconstructions. Our team works across multiple jurisdictions with a client base that includes listed corporations, large private companies, private equity funds and venture capitalists.
We are often instructed to take the lead to drive outcomes, but also regularly provide a supporting role to supplement our client's own teams and appointed advisers.
