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.
