Australia as a destination: our offering to International clients

Australia has long been a preferred destination for foreign investment. Clayton Utz has been at the forefront in helping seasoned offshore investors with Australian legal and regulatory issues and helping new investors understand how to invest and build their business in Australia. We understand that investors from different regions and economies come to the table with different needs, attitudes and expectations. We respond to those differences because we understand that each international investor is unique.

With an optimistic economy and a strong pipeline of opportunities for inbound investment – you can only take advantage of these opportunities when you know the State of Play in Australia. We’ve compiled key market trends and latest developments in foreign investment, regulation, restructuring and disputes to help overseas investors or international law firms with clients transacting in Australia stay ahead of the curve on these issues. Our Doing Business in Australia guide is another useful resource for offshore investors as it provides an overview of Australia’s economic, legal and regulatory environment, and practical advice on doing business in Australia.
