Mergers & Acquisitions

"FCR played a key role in developing and communicating our takeover defence.
We would highly recommend FCR as an experienced adviser."

Paul Jury, former managing director
Resource Pacific Holdings Limited

Over the past ten years, FCR has assisted with more than 50 mergers and acquisitions - 14 since the beginning of 2007. Our involvement in some of Australia’s highest profile takeovers - both for cash and for scrip - has given us wide experience of the communication techniques which can be used during a bid, and of the issues and legal constraints which have to be faced.

Through our strategic alliance with Maitland, a member of the AMO financial communication group which has offices in New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt and Rome, we also help Australian companies with cross-border mergers and acquisitions.

We have a detailed understanding of the steps to be taken when a company anticipates a bid and wishes to be on the ‘front foot’.

We know how to present our clients’ messages in a persuasive manner and to capitalise on the strengths and weaknesses of offerors and their targets.
