Leveraged Acquisition Finance
Allens Arthur Robinson has one of the largest and most dynamic
groups of banking specialists in Australia. We have played leading roles in most
of the landmark leveraged buyout deals. These deals have involved various layers
of debt and complex inter creditor issues.
Our excellent reputation in the market is reflected by our loyal and growing
client base. We hold strong relationships with the major LBO financiers in the
Australian market, as well as high quality relationships with private equity
houses active in the LBO arena. We have also acted for some of the world’s
leading financial institutions and corporations, handling sophisticated and
unique high value transactions and matters.
An acquisition finance team you can count on
We are known for our ability to develop innovative solutions. We have acted
for the full range of parties on both sides of acquisition financings –
financiers, borrowers, acquirers, agents, underwriters and arrangers. We
understand the motivations and strategies of the acquirers and the financiers.
Our deal management approach ensures efficient service, a high degree of
interaction, and responsiveness to the needs of our clients. Our Finance team is
strongly supported by our Tax partners, who are market leaders in the provision
of tax and stamp duty advice and solutions.
Our acquisition finance experience
In a market that has been defined by an increase in the size and volume of
deals, Allens strength lies in the size and depth of our leveraged acquisition
team. This is due to the joined forces of our Banking & Finance and M&A
practices, and the strong support of our tax practice.
Allens Finance and Private Equity team has positioned the firm at the
forefront of the LBO arena – key examples of the acquisition financing work we
have done recently includes:
- US$3.7 billion acquisition of Dyno Nobel Holding;
- A$6.5 billion acquisition of Investa Property Group;
- NZ$2.24 billion acquisition New Zealand’s Yellow Pages Group;
