Yesterday we hosted an insightful presentation for accountants and financial advisers, on managing relationship risk for business owners and high net worth clients.

Presented by our fantastic Family Law Partner Briony Robertson, the session explored how property settlements can typically unfold in the family law system, and the proactive steps individuals can take early to help protect personal and business wealth in the event of separation, at all stages of a relationship.

Briony also discussed the importance of collaboration between accountants, family lawyers and estate planning lawyers when structuring and documenting client wealth arrangements, helping to better protect clients and minimise future disputes.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to a great discussion. It was fantastic to connect with professionals committed to taking a proactive approach to protecting their clients and businesses.

Last week we were proud to sponsor Startmate's Summer ‘26 Demo Day in Sydney; one of the biggest nights on the ANZ startup calendar.

Our Partner Angelo Mazzone and Senior Associate Matt Collins were on the ground at Carriageworks alongside founders, operators and investors, seeing firsthand the next wave of companies tackling real, high-impact problems, from construction and payments to legal and healthcare, with AI applied where it matters.

Demo Day is a reminder that some of the most ambitious, category-defining companies in the region are being built right here. Startmate continues to raise the bar, bringing together founders focused on saving time, reducing cost, removing risk and improving outcomes.

A big thank you to the Startmate team for having us involved once again.

Beyond the event, Angelo and Matt also attended Sunrise by Blackbird and connected with operators, founders and investors across the ecosystem.

Is the writing on the wall for Ben Roberts-Smith?

Ben Roberts-Smith has returned to the spotlight following charges relating to five alleged war crimes between 2009 and 2012.

Our Partner, Alex Martin, has been closely following these developments and recently joined Brett Charles on Radio 4KZ to unpack:

- how these proceedings have come about
- the challenges involved in prosecuting allegations of this nature
- the broader legal context surrounding the proceedings

With such extensive media coverage (including Roberts-Smith's prior defamation proceedings), questions also arise around trial fairness.

Will those earlier proceedings have an impact on what comes next?

Take a listen to hear Alex’s insights!

What happens if you are called for jury duty, but you are living overseas?

It is a question that catches many Australians abroad by surprise.

Our Partner Alex Martin recently joined Clinton Maynard on 2GB’s 'Sydney Now' to discuss what happens when Australians living overseas receive a jury summons, and the practical steps involved in requesting to be excused if attending isn’t possible.

Alex also shares some interesting insights on when jurors are typically required in court proceedings, as well as other situations where individuals may be able to seek exemption from jury duty.

Take a listen below.

Structuring the sale or purchase of a business is critical, as it impacts financial outcomes, tax implications, and the allocation of risk between buyer and seller.

Our article below examines key considerations when structuring a business acquisition or disposal, focusing on the choice between an asset or share sale, purchase price structuring, and adjustment mechanisms.

Under the lights at the MCG ✨🌙

Our General Manager Jodie Engerer, Partner Briony Robertson, Senior Associate Matt Collins and EA Taylah Jackson attended last night’s spectacular Arena Dinner - an epic night of bold summer vibes (minus the chilly breeze), beautiful food and even better company.

The event was all about great energy and genuine connections in one of Melbourne’s most iconic settings, finished off with a fantastic performance from Hot Dub Time Machine which was a hit!

A big thank you to The Hawthorn Network and the MCG for an impressive night. 🥂

Debt funding can be an attractive alternative to equity, particularly for founders and boards who want to retain control while still accessing growth capital. It can also be appealing to investors because it typically provides a fixed return, priority over equity in a liquidation, and, in many cases, security over company assets. Unlike equity, which depends on long-term upside, debt offers more predictable cash flows and enforceable contractual rights.

That said, debt is not without pitfalls. Loan arrangements bring their own risks and complexities. Entering into them without a clear understanding of the legal and commercial consequences can leave a company financially exposed and, in some cases, leave directors personally liable.

With that in mind, take a read of our article below for ten key issues every board should weigh carefully before taking on debt.

22/12/2025

From 1 January 2026, Australia’s merger control system enters a new phase. The informal, voluntary approach that has shaped merger regulation for decades will be replaced by a mandatory and suspensory notification regime administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

For dealmakers, boards and advisers, this structural change shifts merger control from a risk managed in the background to a formal approval process that must be addressed early and deliberately.

If you have any queries or require our assistance, contact our Corporate Transactions Partner Angelo Mazzone today on (03) 9481 2000 or [email protected].
