‍
By using our website or our services, you consent to your personal information being handled as set out in this Privacy Policy. We may update this Policy from time to time, and the latest version will be available on our website.

2. What we collect and how

“Personal information” is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

Most information we handle relates to businesses, but we also collect personal information about individuals such as:

  • name, organisation, title/occupation and relationship to our clients
  • business and/or residential contact details
  • details of communications and dealings with you
  • information about individual stakeholders relevant to a transaction or mandate
  • information you provide as part of a job application (for example CV, qualifications, employment history, right to work and referee details)

We collect personal information:

  • directly from you (for example by email, phone, meetings, online forms and our website)
  • from clients and their advisers, where you are a relevant stakeholder
  • from publicly available sources (for example company websites, filings, media, professional networks)
  • from recruiters, referees and background‑check providers in the recruitment context

If we receive personal information we did not request and could not lawfully collect, we will destroy or de‑identify it where reasonable.

3. Website, cookies and analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies on our website to understand usage and improve our services. Cookies may sometimes be linked to an identifiable individual. Any personal information obtained through cookies is handled under this Policy.
‍
You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, but some website functionality may not work as intended. Our website may link to external sites we do not control; their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

4. How we use personal information

We use personal information to:

  • provide, manage and improve our corporate advisory, M&A and capital markets services
  • evaluate and pursue potential transactions and manage stakeholder communications
  • respond to enquiries and maintain records of our dealings
  • verify identity and information
  • manage our business operations, including billing, risk management and compliance
  • consider and manage job applications and recruitment; and
  • comply with legal and regulatory obligations

We may also use personal information for related secondary purposes that you would reasonably expect, or where you have consented or we are otherwise permitted or required by law.

5. Direct Marketing

We may send you market updates, insights, event invitations or similar communications that are relevant to our professional relationship. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in our messages or by contacting us.

6. Disclosure of personal information

We treat personal information as confidential and do not sell or trade it. We may disclose personal information to:

  • clients and their professional advisers where reasonably necessary in connection with a mandate or transaction
  • third‑party service providers that support our business (for example IT and cloud hosting, data room, communications, analytics, document management and professional advisers)
  • recruiters, background‑check providers, referees and former employers in the recruitment context
  • regulators, government agencies, law‑enforcement bodies, courts or tribunals where required or authorised by law
  • other parties where you have consented, or where your consent can reasonably be inferred

Some service providers may be located, or may store or access personal information, outside Australia. Where reasonable, we take steps to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles, or otherwise only disclose it as permitted by the Privacy Act.

We do not adopt government‑related identifiers (such as tax file numbers, Medicare numbers or drivers licence numbers) as our own identifiers.

7. Security and data breaches

We take reasonable steps to keep personal information accurate, up to date and secure, including by:

  • using systems with appropriate security and access controls
  • limiting access to those who need it for legitimate business purposes
  • securely destroying or de‑identifying information when no longer needed, unless we must keep it by law

If we become aware of an eligible data breach, we will assess it and, where required, notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in line with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

8. Access, correction and complaints

ou may request access to the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. We will respond within a reasonable time (generally within 30 days). We may need to verify your identity and may charge a reasonable fee for providing access.

In some cases we may refuse access or correction where permitted by law. If we do, we will explain why (unless unreasonable) and outline how you can complain. If we correct information and you ask us to notify another organisation that received it, we will take reasonable steps to do so where lawful and practicable.

If you have any questions or wish to make a complaint about how we handle your personal information, please contact us using the details on our website. We will acknowledge and respond to complaints as promptly as we reasonably can.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the OAIC:
