Our Corporate team provides advice and implementation across a broad range of corporate issues and transactions.
We advise on the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules, Part IVA of the Trade Practices Act and the foreign investment regime. Our team has sufficient scale to handle large scale transactions.
We believe that Herbert Geer and, in particular, the Corporate team, distinguishes itself in the following ways:
We always keep things in perspective.
What does this mean?
- Nearly always we find a solution that works and sits well with the commercial objectives.
- We do not point score against other advisors (and that is why a lot of our work is referred from other firms).
- We never assume that the most obvious or usual solution is the right one. We understand that there are often a number of legal paths open.
Our small team approach ensures consistency of Partner and senior practitioner involvement in matters.
What does this mean?
- The people you meet on day one will stay with you.
- We give you the choice as to who does your work and who is responsible for our relationship with you.
- We will never over-lawyer your files.
We are not just excellent technical lawyers. All clients expect technical excellence. We acknowledge that the role of the corporate legal adviser is much broader than this.
What does this mean?
- We are frequently called upon to manage projects and processes.
- We are often called upon for our problem solving and implementation skills.
