Unlocking Global Investment Opportunities with Expertise

In the complex world of international business, having the right guidance can make all the difference. Our team has a strong track record in managing cross-border deals, offering the expertise needed to navigate the complexities of cross-border investment with confidence. As a leading international law firm, we are dedicated to facilitating cross-border trade and investment. Our services cover mergers and acquisitions, foreign investment, regulation and compliance, banking and finance, and tax. In Australia, our Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) advisory practice is backed by strong connections with Treasury and FIRB. 

Strategic Support for Complex Transactions

When it comes to strategic, multi-jurisdictional transactions, our experience is invaluable. We understand the challenges posed by diverse legal systems and regulatory landscapes. Serving as lead international counsel, we guide clients through the structuring, negotiation, and financing of transactions, ensuring all regulatory approvals are secured. 

Global Reach with Local Insight

Our on-the-ground expertise spans Australia and key international markets, including China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Singapore and the USA. Where we do not have offices, we support clients through strong, established relationships with local law firms across the globe.

In Asia, where we are headquartered, we have Mallesons Circle – our relationship law firm network, which covers multiple jurisdictions across the region. Outside of Asia, we work with a select group of trusted firms that we know to be client focused and committed to delivering exceptional service. The non-exclusive nature of our global network gives us the flexibility to choose the best firm for each client and project – ensuring exceptional service and client-focused outcomes.
