Private Equity

Minter Ellison’s pre-eminent private equity team advises many of the leading domestic and regional private equity funds that invest in Australasia. Our leveraged finance team also works extensively in private equity acting for the lending banks and mezzanine providers. The combined strength of the team has enabled us to advise on many of the best known transactions in Australasia in recent years, and on larger transactions for regional funds.

Our private equity experience includes management buyouts, secondary buyouts and dual track exit transactions. We also provide integrated capability covering all aspects of alternative investments including fund formation and structuring, capital raising, offshore fundraising, tax structuring, and local and offshore investments.

Minter Ellison’s international office network gives our private equity team a seamless multi-jurisdictional capability for bolt on, domestic and offshore private equity investments, and for rolling out expansion strategies.

We have substantial experience in developing and executing strategies for private equity funds to exit their investments. We work closely with the firm’s ECM and M&A experts to provide the complementary legal expertise on exits via IPOs or trade sale.
