Companies, contracts and transactions in Australia, New Zealand, Portugal and Brazil — advised by one lawyer who can read the documents on both sides of the deal.
Businesses that operate in more than one country meet more than one company law. We form and structure entities, draft and negotiate the agreements between owners, and handle the transactions — investments, acquisitions, joint ventures — where the parties sit in different jurisdictions.
Because we are admitted in each of the four countries, an Australian company buying into a Brazilian business, or a Portuguese founder setting up in Australia, deals with one adviser who understands both systems and where they conflict.
We identify the entity, ownership and governance structure that works in every country involved — and its tax and migration consequences.
We draft and negotiate the agreements in the language of the counterparty where needed, with consistent terms across jurisdictions.
Filings, registrations and ongoing obligations are completed and calendared.

A short message with the countries involved is enough to start. We reply within one business day.
