As the Queensland member firm of Meritas, we want to share the ongoing benefits our clients gain from the various practice and industry groups within Meritas. The Meritas M&A Group meets the critical needs for any local and international cross-border deal, with over 1,000 M&A and transactional lawyers closely connected who have worked together on hundreds of domestic and international transactions over numerous years. Our membership in Meritas and the Meritas M&A Group uniquely positions our team to collaborate with top-tier legal experts around the world.
One example of our collaboration within the Meritas network is a deal where our team at Bennett & Philp represented a global mining services company in acquiring shares in an Australian company. This $200 million USD transaction involved multiple jurisdictions, including Australia, USA, Jersey, Ghana and Chile. Our Meritas partners, including Ntrakwah & Co (Ghana), Prieto Abogados (Chile), and Bayard P.A. (Delaware, USA), provided essential local advice, ensuring the deal was completed smoothly. Bennett & Philp was able to have confidence in a tightly timetabled deal that local diligence issues and advice relating to local legislation in multiple jurisdictions would be provided in a timely and professional manner. The trusted relationships within the Meritas network were crucial in navigating local legislation and meeting tight deadlines.
