Kain Lawyers

Kain Lawyers are transaction specialists advising exclusively in Private and Public M&A, Equity Capital Markets, Debt Capital Markets, Investment Funds, Property & Real Asset Transactions, Capital Structuring, and Transaction Disputes.

Their singular transactional focus fosters deep expertise in both transactions and the market. The firm takes the time to understand its clients' businesses and commercial objectives, drawing on its market expertise to anticipate potential issues and focusing on what is material to both the clients and their transactions.

The firm's commitment to community is not a recent development nor a response to shifting societal or workplace expectations. It was a core motivation behind the firm’s creation and is deeply embedded in its DNA. The Kain Foundation was established alongside the firm in 2004, and since then, every team member has made a financial contribution and actively participated in Kain Foundation projects. These projects, located in Australia and Uganda, aim to provide economic and educational opportunities to disadvantaged young people. The team has contributed tens of thousands of volunteer hours and raised over $1.5 million for these initiatives. This commitment is an intrinsic part of the firm’s identity.

The team eschews internal competition and fosters collaboration. By working together, they develop each other and deliver positive experiences and outcomes for clients, the team, and the community. This collaborative environment offers each team member the opportunity to realise their full potential, developing market-leading professional skills while making a meaningful, lasting impact on the community.
