Foreign investment advice for a range of industries and matters
Australia’s foreign investment rules are complex. They can apply to asset and property purchases, as well as acquiring an interest in an Australian business. In certain circumstances, approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) must be obtained before the transaction can proceed. Our experts are here to help you navigate the rules and the FIRB application process.
Investors
Our FIRB specialists support foreign investors at every stage—determining approval requirements, advising on M&A rules, managing applications, responding to ATO and FIRB queries, negotiating outcomes, and ensuring compliance with Australia’s investment laws.
Legal Advisors
For legal advisors handling FIRB applications, we provide expert tax support—reviewing transactions for tax risks, advising on tax implications for applications, and responding to FIRB and ATO tax queries to ensure compliance and a smooth approval process.
