How we can help
Our focus is on delivering commercially grounded, technically robust solutions that align tax outcomes with strategic and operational objectives.
Tax advisory
We provide transaction-focused advice across Australian domestic and inbound transactions, structures and investments. We work closely with corporate, finance and projects teams to support acquisitions, disposals, restructures and ongoing operations, ensuring tax outcomes are aligned with commercial objectives from the outset.
We have particular strength in advising inbound investors into Australia, including on entry structuring, financing arrangements, holding structures and post-acquisition integration. Our advice reflects a detailed understanding of the Australian tax landscape and how these apply in practice to complex structures and transactions.
We combine technical depth with a pragmatic, execution-focused approach, helping clients navigate regulator expectations and evolving policy settings. Whether advising on a single transaction or broader investment strategy, our focus is on delivering clear, implementable solutions that manage risk while supporting commercial outcomes.
Tax controversy and disputes
Our specialist tax controversy practice helps clients proactively manage and resolve tax risk, recognising that most organisations seek to avoid protracted disputes and disruption to their business. We work with clients from the earliest stages of ATO engagement – including risk pre-review engagement, voluntary disclosures, reviews and audits – to shape strategy, manage interactions and position issues for efficient resolution.
Drawing on deep technical expertise and multidisciplinary capability, we support complex matters across all areas of tax law. Our approach is grounded in a detailed understanding of ATO and state revenue office processes, risk identification and decision‑making, enabling us to engage constructively and pursue outcomes to achieve early, efficient and strategic resolutions.
Where disputes escalate, we provide measured, outcomes‑focused advocacy, balancing legal, commercial and reputational considerations. We bring strong judgment as to when matters should be resolved and when they should be contested, ensuring that risks are managed, privilege is preserved, and our clients’ broader commercial objectives remain front of mind.
