Our experience
Arnold Bloch Leibler’s Capital Markets practice has earned its position at the premium end of the legal profession by acting on landmark Australian transactions.
Our Capital Markets team is renowned for the quality of our advice and decision making, excellence in execution, and careful management of process and risk.
Our expertise in this area sits alongside our leading ABL Private and Corporate and M&A capability. We have a reputation for advising many of Australia’s most successful businesses from inception, through successive rounds of capital raising, and their entry onto public markets and have a reputation for smooth and effective capital markets activity integrated with, and powering acquisitions, and business and international expansion.
Our Capital Markets expertise and network is grounded in Australia, and yet we have a long history of partnering with clients and guiding their journeys as they access capital markets within and beyond Australia’s borders.
Initial public offerings and pivotal equity raisings are often critical milestones for growing companies. And we have built our practice by achieving cutting edge outcomes on milestone transactions. Our hallmark is that we take a deep personal interest in the success of our clients, and in ‘getting things done’.
"The standard of advice is very high quality. They are commercially savvy, and their decisions are concise and considered.”
