Mergers, Acquisitions and Takeovers

Lowndes Jordan has considerable experience in advising on mergers and acquisitions. We have acted on a broad range of share and asset acquisitions and divestments for both public and closely held companies.

In advising on such transactions, we involve partners and staff who are specialised in finance, taxation, intellectual property, employment, property, litigation and other relevant areas.

We have also advised with respect to all aspects of some highly contested takeover transactions in New Zealand, including the requirements of the Takeovers Code, the NZX Listing Rules and general directors' duties and company law. Our specialists in this area have advised on transaction structuring and bid strategies for both partial and full takeovers.
