Marc is an experienced transactional and commercial lawyer who is dedicated to providing pragmatic and effective legal advice to enable his clients to achieve their commercial objectives.

He routinely advises on both complex and straightforward corporate transactions from heads of agreement/term sheet stage through to completion, including guiding his clients on both vendor and purchaser side through competitive sales processes, transaction and finance structuring, due diligence, warranties and indemnities (including warranty and indemnity insurance), transaction document negotiation, and the post-completion adjustment process.

While Marc advises on a wide range of transactions in different sectors, he has a specific expertise in cross border transactions, capital raisings, acting for and against private equity, advising startups and investors in startups, advising clients in the health, aged care and retirement villages space, and not-for-profits.

Marc is a trusted adviser for several ASX listed companies, private companies and not-for-profit clients.  As well as advising these clients on transactions, Marc and his team take the time to get to know the client’s business so they can assist with practical and timely legal advice on day to day matters with a strong understanding of the client’s business objectives and imperatives. This involves a wide range of legal work including contract interpretation, assisting with the negotiation of key supplier and customer contracts, local and international distribution agreements, privacy, services agreements, government funding agreements and regulatory compliance.

Recent experience includes:

  • Advising Carino Care on the acquisition of a portfolio of residential aged care facilities from Ark Health Care for an undisclosed sum. The portfolio consists of 272 approved places across 4 residential aged care facilities located at Rockdale, Sylvannia, Oatley and Russell Lee in Sydney.
