ASX-listed companies & independent board committees
Public companies and boards facing takeover and control change approaches, strategic decisions or the need for genuinely independent expert advice and probity solutions that investment banking models were never designed to credibly provide. We also serve independent board committees that require conflict-free guidance on live transactions, alternative pathways, valuation and probity matters.
Family-owned & privately held businesses
The mid-market business owner navigating growth, reinvention, exponential technology adoption, a potential sale or IPO, or an inter-generational transition, with no advisor who truly has your interests at heart. That's the gap we fill. We've built our practice around these clients for a quarter century.
Innovation scaleups
Founders and management teams building the next generation of AI, blockchain, climate, clean energy and deep tech businesses. We understand the journey from early growth through to institutional capital, strategic partnerships and exit.
Professional and Strategic investors
Family offices, private equity sponsors, institutional investors and strategic acquirers, seeking independent buy-side advice, diligence, and transaction support. We provide objective transaction analysis, triage, target identification, and investment strategy and execution, without the conflicts that come with a bank-affiliated advisor.
Digital assets & Web3 projects
Companies and projects interested in integrating blockchain technology, tokenised structures and digital capital markets into their business models. We bring both the technical understanding of digital asset structures and the rigour of traditional corporate finance to every mandate.
Indigenous & native title corporations
As native title settlements, resource royalties and community investment vehicles grow in sophistication, indigenous corporations deserve the same quality of independent corporate advice available to any major company. We serve this community with the same rigour we apply to every client.
