FIRB – Reforms to Australia’s foreign investment framework
The emphasis of the FIRB reforms is on national security risks, the approval process and administrative enhancements.
International Experience
We work with global clients wanting to invest into Australia, as well as Australian clients investing in opportunities overseas.
Our International Exprience
We assist international clients to understand the complexities and opportunities that exist when working or investing in Australia. We help clients on issues ranging from restrictions on foreign investment and the Foreign Investment Review Board, company structures, and mergers and acquisitions through to intellectual property issues, competition and consumer law and taxation issues.
We also advise clients on property development projects (residential and mixed-use) and employment and industrial relations issues.
Maddocks has formed strategic alliances with Australian and international law firms to expand our business across international borders. We also bring industry specialisation across the education, government, healthcare, infrastructure, technology sectors.
