    FAQ's

    What is strategic transaction advisory and how does it differ from standard M&A advisory?

    Strategic transaction advisory takes a broader view than a single deal, considering how a transaction fits a company’s long-term strategy, capital structure and growth plans, rather than focusing narrowly on executing one sale or acquisition.

    Strategic advisory services typically include growth and expansion planning, capital structure review, partnership or joint venture assessment, and preparing a business for a future transaction such as a sale, merger or listing.

    Cross-border investment advisory helps businesses navigate the regulatory, tax, currency and cultural considerations involved in investing or expanding across jurisdictions, which is important for companies looking to grow beyond the Australian market or attract foreign capital.

    It’s generally most useful to engage strategic transaction advisors well before a transaction is imminent, ideally when a business is first evaluating options such as raising capital, merging, expanding overseas, or planning an eventual exit.

    Advisors typically coordinate with local legal, tax and regulatory specialists in each relevant jurisdiction, and help structure the transaction to account for foreign investment approval requirements, tax treaties and differing disclosure regimes.

    Due diligence verifies the financial, legal, operational and commercial position of a target or counterparty, and underpins both valuation and risk assessment. It’s a core part of any strategic transaction and directly informs deal terms and structuring.

    Success is typically measured against the objectives set at the outset – whether that’s a completed transaction on favourable terms, a clearer long-term capital strategy, or a stronger position for a future growth or exit event.
