Private Equity
Private equity is a desirable option for those looking to use financial assets to purchase a controlling stake in a business. We regularly advise clients on the full range options regarding buying and selling businesses.
Our Private Equity Expertise
The Private Equity team at Maddocks advises private equity and venture capital funds, superannuation funds and other institutional investors on the direct and alternative investment options available to them.
We regularly negotiate leveraged buyouts, expansion stage investments, infrastructure investments, as well as other managed investment trusts.
We also advise companies or consortia seeking to raise equity capital or sell to private equity or other investors and management teams. With experience on both sides of the table, we can bring our experience, knowledge and insight gleaned to these matters, offering a commercially focused service.
For investment and exit transactions, we bring together a multi-disciplined team that specialises in employment, financial services, infrastructure, intellectual property, superannuation and tax, as well as other specialist areas depending on the nature of the transaction.
At Maddocks, we regularly advise on the full lifecycle of these funds, from establishment to early stage, development and expansion stage capital raising, secondary investment and public to private transactions.
We can also provide consultation on financing and tax structures, management incentive arrangements and implementing exit strategies, including IPOs, sell downs and trade sales.
