The Australian offices of A&O Shearman are fully integrated with the firm's Asia-Pacific practice, which frequently assembles multi-jurisdictional teams to advise on high-value corporate and financing deals. Its Australia-based lawyers have a diverse range of international experience and many are dual-qualified in English or US law, enabling them to play leading roles on substantial international mandates. On 1st May 2024, Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling merged to form A&O Shearman.
The law firm is singled out for its expertise in top-tier regional financing matters and is a go-to choice for cross-border capital raising matters for major clients in the mining and resources sectors. Its experts in major financial centres bolster its offering in these areas for Australian clients, and its on-the-ground expertise ensures overseas clients receive an integrated service on foreign investment into Australia.
