Private equity

Print Version

We advise on the full range of private equity transactions including:

  • acquisition through management buyouts, leveraged buyouts, public to private transactions, succession, purchases from receivers/administrators and ACCC "forced" divestments
  • leveraged financing
  • exit strategies including trade sales, IPO, merger, strategic alliance, joint venture and secondary buyouts
  • venture capital investment

The members of our team have been involved in many pioneering private equity deals in the growing and maturing market represented by Australasia. We are well placed to work on complex high value deals and to provide a cost-efficient personalised partner-led service to back client’s commercial aspirations.

Some representative transactions in which our team have been involved include:

  • formation of Qenos joint venture and strategic alliance for Orica (formerly ICI Australia) of its petrochemical assets with Exxon Mobil
  • take out by trade sale of Hambros Private Equity group in Trace Scientific Limited by a US corporation
  • acquisition by AMP Capital Investors, DB Capital Partners and Hastings Infrastructure fund of the Dampier to Bunbury public to private pipeline assets
  • debt financing of MCK Group MBO arranged by AMP Asset Management and GS Private Equity
