Private markets, M&A & cross-border transactions

Australian legal, tax, and regulatory support for sponsors, companies, and institutional participants in VC, PE, M&A, and cross-border deals.

Overview

Transactions in private markets rarely sit in a single discipline. A fund closing a round, a sponsor executing a carve-out, or an offshore strategic buying an Australian target each needs corporate documents, tax outcomes, and regulatory pathways to line up. Lemoigne® provides integrated advice across those streams—so diligence findings turn into clear signing conditions, and the structure you present to investors or lenders matches what you implement on closing.
