Nick Broome
Partner, Melbourne
I am an experienced corporate lawyer and trusted adviser who works principally on transactions involving mergers and acquisitions, equity capital markets and private investments. I specialise in providing practical, commercially minded advice.

My clients range from private investment groups to large listed companies and multinationals.

I pride myself on being responsive and easy to work with, which has allowed me to maintain strong client relationships throughout my career.
