"Foreign investment approvals can feel like navigating in fog. Expectations shift, the process can be difficult to read, and outcomes aren't always predictable.
We understand how Treasury and FIRB approach reviews, not just the rules, but the thinking behind them. That perspective helps clients navigate with clarity and position their proposals for success."
