Trade & Investment

Fred Chilton majored in international trade law in his Master's Degree at Harvard Law School.  He has had decades of experience assisting companies in taking advantage of free trade agreements, complying with export restrictions and documenting trading relationships.  He is the editor of the Australian chapter of the International Encyclopedia of Agency and Distribution Agreements.  The firm continues to advise international entities wishing to establish their operations in Australia where we can provide a one stop service covering incorporation, providing the registered office during early stages, assisting with employment contracts, international licensing, leasing and other real estate issues.  For those seeking to invest either as a minority shareholder or by way of acquisition, we not only undertake the M&A aspects of the transaction but also assist with Foreign Investment Review Board approvals and advice on relevant licensing regimes.
