Mergers and Acquisitions
ACME consults for Australian and overseas clients in connection with mergers, acquisitions, sales and joint ventures across a wide range of industries. Many of our clients are local small to large size enterprises and also Chinese, Singaporean and Philippine manufacturing companies acquiring Australian distribution operations either through joint ventures with their Australian distributors or agents, or outright acquisitions of distribution businesses. We give advice on acquisition strategy, pre-transaction structuring and due diligence. We also assist in negotiations and the preparation and review of appropriate sale documentation and completion of merger and acquisition transactions. We advise clients in relation to all post-acquisition arrangements such as the introduction and implementation of group policies and procedures and identifying sources of professional expertise such as recruitment, banking and accounting service providers.
