We love the business of empowering clients to achieve extraordinary outcomes through mergers and acquisitions. In fact, it gives us no greater pleasure than to see our clients achieve more, as a result of our partnership.

As a reinforcement of these values and what we’ve been able to achieve together, we’re delighted to share our 2021 league table performance:

Top 10 Firms on the Australian Mid-Cap M&A (US$500m) league tables 

Top 5 Firms on the Australian Small-Cap M&A (US$50m) league tables 

Every day, we strive to act as problem-solvers, partners and mentors for our clients, enabling businesses to achieve their goals through transition and change. This recognition of our efforts and position in the industry is one of our biggest achievements as an M&A firm to-date and one that we’ll be marking as a milestone in our corporate history.
