Bio

I am an experienced corporate lawyer, specialising in capital markets and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). My expertise covers all types of corporate transactions, ranging from initial public offerings (IPOs), M&A (both public and private), listed and unlisted capital raisings, recapitalisations and restructures. My equity capital markets experience covers is in IPOs (including dual tracks and dual listings), placements, rights and entitlement offers, secondary offers, and convertible and corporate bond offers. My M&A experience covers public transactions such as schemes and takeovers, as well as private treaty deals. I provide pragmatic strategic advice to clients on complex transactions in a timely manner. I also advise on the spectrum of corporate advisory matters, including compliance, reporting and disclosure under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Listing Rules, as well as directors’ duties, insider trading and insolvent trading. My clients include listed and private companies, managed investment schemes, private equity sponsors, institutional investors, domestic and foreign entities, and lead managers and underwriters. Clients value my cross-border experience, having worked for a top-tier law firm in New York, as well as my practical advice and innovative solutions. I have been recognised for my transactional work by Chambers, Best Lawyers and IFLR1000. I have been a finalist in the Lawyers Weekly Australian Partner of the Year Awards.
