Subject outline

Commercial actors from international jurisdictions often acquire and develop assets in Australia and New Zealand. Public listing in either of these two jurisdictions is one exit mechanism for these commercial actors. In all cases, however, proper structuring of the commercial transaction is important. This subject comprises a review of the principal areas of required legal knowledge, the present position of the former British enclaves in the Southern Hemisphere for transaction planning purposes, the substantive law in Australia and New Zealand, including the mutual recognition of securities offerings regime, transaction planning, and the architecture of a public listing.
