Joint Ventures & Shareholders Arrangements

We have a long and successful history of acting for participants in MBOs and MBIs, and in private equity and venture capital transactions generally.

We regularly advise other participants (including private equity firms, investor/investee companies and venture capitalists) on issues arising out of public and private capital raisings, IPOs and due diligence. Our arms-length relationships with these funding sources ensure we can act for management without giving rise to potential conflicts of interest.

We advise on the full range of issues arising from these transactions, including pre-sale business restructuring, capital raisings and divestments, fund establishment, business and share acquisitions and sales, IPOs, back-door listings and exit strategies, rights offers and other public capital raisings, private capital raisings, due diligence – design and implementation, and directors’ duties.
