Guide for setting up a business in Australia
This publication outlines some of the more important considerations to take into account when setting up a business in Australia.
For international companies wanting to enter into the Australian market, or Australian companies needing advice on expanding into international markets, strategic advice is needed to maximise international growth opportunities.
Our international team has long-term experience in advising foreign or foreign-owned clients on complex cross-border transactions and disputes and developing a practical understanding of the business environment in Australia.
We bridge legal, linguistic and cultural differences in a manner that is beneficial to our clients. Our partners and senior lawyers who work in geographic-focused areas of our international practice are native speakers and understand first-hand the commercial and legal issues of doing business in that country.
We act for internationally known companies from all over the world, stock-exchange listed companies in Australia and overseas, and medium-sized companies conducting their business in Australia.
We act for many of our international clients as their Australian counsel, assisting with multidisciplinary matters across a number of core areas of expertise and sectors.
Drawing on our significant international experience and our wide-ranging network of contacts, our international lawyers facilitate our clients’ access to relevant local experts in and outside of Australia and improve the efficiency with which cross-border transactions are conducted.
