Cross-Border Businesses
One legal partner across Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
Managing legal issues across borders shouldn't mean managing multiple law firms. Whether you're expanding into a new market or already operating across multiple jurisdictions, you need one team that understands the full picture.
Our integrated team supports businesses and in-house legal teams across Australia, New Zealand and the UK on market entry, corporate structuring, employment, commercial contracts, governance, regulatory compliance and day-to-day legal support.
With one connected team across three jurisdictions, we help organisations navigate cross-border legal issues efficiently, consistently and with confidence.
How we
can help you:
-
Market entry is an exciting but often overwhelming time. We offer comprehensive support for businesses looking to expand from ANZ to the UK or vice versa.
Our market entry support includes:
Establishment of Australian entities and group structures
Advice on regulatory and operational considerations
Localisation of governance and commercial arrangements
Trade mark registration and intellectual property protection in foreign markets
Advising on customer data governance including privacy policies, marketing databases, and cross-border data use
GDPR audits, ongoing data management, privacy training, and data breach response to ensure compliance with UK and EU regulations
Support for compliant hiring and management of local employees and contractors
Securing premises and managing leases in new markets

-
Operating across multiple jurisdictions shouldn't mean managing multiple relationships. Our integrated team gives you:
One relationship, one team — a single point of contact across Australia, New Zealand and the UK, instead of three separate engagements
Multi-jurisdiction employment — consistent advice on hiring, contracts and workplace obligations across borders
Commercial contracts — drafted and negotiated to hold up across jurisdictions, without losing local relevance
Governance — structures and reporting that stay clear and defensible as your footprint grows
Privacy — compliance managed across differing jurisdictional requirements
Ongoing legal support — for in-house legal teams and business leaders, not just one-off advice
-

Added legal capacity as you expand into new jurisdictions
