Capital Markets and Securities

Drawing on a broad range of disciplines, we help clients solve their financing and capital raising needs. In doing so, we have developed legal structures for some of the most innovative securities in the Australian market and have demonstrated a strong track record of efficiently planning and managing capital raising projects for our clients.

Our experiences includes high-profile and innovative work in:

• debt capital markets including domestic vanilla note programs, offshore note programs, kangaroo bond issues and high yield notes, vanilla warrants and OTC derivatives;
• equity capital markets including initial public offerings (IPOs), rights issues, entitlement offers, placements, derivative transactions and private equity;
• corporate governance and listing rule compliance;
• hybrids and securities with debt/equity-linked features (convertible notes, retail notes);
• tailored structures with very specific capital protection, leverage and risk requirements, spanning the full spectrum of underlying asset classes; and
• capital management including dividend reinvestment plans, employee incentive arrangements and buy-backs.
