Transaction Structuring & Documentation

The structure of a transaction can influence ownership, control, economics, funding, governance, compliance and future flexibility. Before documents are finalised, promoters, businesses and investors often need to understand how these elements fit together.

Transaction Structure Advisory

We help clients evaluate proposed transaction structures against commercial objectives, ownership considerations, financing requirements and implementation needs. Where relevant, transaction planning can be coordinated with M&A & Strategic Transactions.

Investment Structure Advisory

Investment structures can involve equity, debt, convertible instruments or combinations of different funding arrangements. We support evaluation of the proposed structure and coordination of financial, corporate, tax and legal inputs where required.

Capital Structure Advisory

The mix of equity, debt and other instruments can affect ownership, repayment obligations, dilution and financial flexibility. Related requirements can be coordinated through Debt & Capital Structuring.

Shareholding Structure Review

We support review of existing and proposed shareholding structures, including ownership percentages, dilution implications and corporate documentation requirements. Related corporate matters can be coordinated through Share Capital & Securities Advisory.

Term Sheet Advisory

A term sheet can establish the commercial foundation for a proposed investment or transaction. We assist with review and documentation support around key commercial terms, subject to specialist legal review where formal legal advice is required.

Shareholders' Agreement Support

Shareholders' agreements can address governance, reserved matters, transfer rights, information rights, exits and other shareholder relationships. We support transaction documentation and professional coordination based on the agreed commercial framework.

Investment Agreement Support

We assist with the commercial and documentation workstreams surrounding investment agreements, including coordination of transaction information, agreed terms and related corporate requirements.

Convertible Instrument Documentation Support

Convertible instruments can involve valuation, conversion, corporate, tax, securities and regulatory considerations. We provide documentation and coordination support while functions requiring a regulated or specifically qualified professional are handled by the appropriate authorised professional.

Transaction Documentation Coordination

Transactions often involve multiple documents and professional workstreams. We help coordinate information, documentation and implementation requirements so that commercial, financial, corporate and specialist professional inputs remain aligned.

Regulatory & Corporate Compliance Coordination

Transaction implementation may require corporate approvals, filings or regulatory steps depending on the structure and parties involved. We support compliance coordination alongside Corporate Documentation & Approvals and other relevant advisory services.

From Commercial Terms to Transaction Readiness

A workable transaction structure should connect commercial intent with financial analysis, due diligence, documentation and compliance. Depending on the engagement, related requirements can be coordinated through Valuation & Financial Modelling, Business & Financial Due Diligence, Legal Due Diligence and Tax Due Diligence & Transaction Advisory.
