Frequently Asked Questions
What does an M&A lawyer do?
An M&A lawyer advises on the purchase or sale of businesses. This includes structuring the transaction, conducting due diligence, drafting and negotiating transaction documents, managing regulatory approvals, and overseeing completion obligations.
What is the difference between a share sale and an asset sale?
In a share sale, the buyer acquires the company including all its liabilities and history. In an asset sale, the buyer acquires specific assets only. Each structure has different tax, liability, and commercial implications that must be carefully assessed before proceeding.
What is due diligence?
Due diligence is the investigation of a target business before completing an acquisition. Legal due diligence examines contracts, IP, litigation risk, employment obligations, regulatory compliance, and corporate records to identify risks and inform the transaction price and structure.
How long does an acquisition take in Australia?
A straightforward SME acquisition can complete in 4–8 weeks. Larger transactions involving FIRB review or regulatory approvals can take several months. Early legal engagement reduces delays and manages risk throughout the process.
Does my transaction require FIRB approval?
The Foreign Investment Review Board must approve certain acquisitions by foreign persons. Whether approval is required depends on the investor country of origin, type of business, and transaction value. HG Law advises on FIRB obligations and manages the application process.
