What we advise on in Australia
Full-service M&A and corporate finance advice for founders and investors across technology & data, media & marketing and consultancy services.
Sell-side M&A
We advise founders and shareholders from valuation and preparation through buyer engagement, negotiation, due diligence and completion. The process focuses on buyers with a clear strategic rationale and the terms that matter to shareholders.
Preparation for sale & growth advisory
We prepare businesses for market by tightening the proposition, management structure, reporting, revenue quality and the growth plan presented to buyers or investors.
Buy-side & acquisition strategy
We advise Australian and international buyers on acquisition strategy, market mapping, target identification, confidential approaches and execution in Australia and across APAC.
Private equity & growth investment
We assess investment options, identify suitable private equity or growth-capital partners and negotiate a structure that balances liquidity, new investment and long-term growth.

Advising Australian specialist services businesses
Australia has produced notable businesses across digital product, data and AI, ecommerce, performance marketing, communications, social, experiential and technology consulting. International buyers value their specialist skills, talent, client relationships and access to the wider Asia-Pacific market.
We know how people-led and technology-enabled services businesses are assessed. Our work sets out what is distinctive, where the company can scale and which buyers or investors have the clearest reason to act.
Australian presence with international reach
Our Sydney and Melbourne teams draw on relationships across Asia, Europe and North America. That matters when the natural buyer is an international group seeking Australian capability or a base for regional growth.
We also advise Australian corporates and private equity-backed groups acquiring locally or expanding overseas, combining market intelligence with direct access to relevant founders, buyers and investors.
Cross-border track record
In the past five years, we have completed 52 cross-border deals across 22 geographies.
Since 2025, we have delivered more than $600m in closed transaction value. Enterprise values have ranged from $15m to $75m, with seven deals above $30m.
