- Offshore Investor Acquisition Strategy and Operations Support for Resources Company — An offshore investor engaged Statecraft to assess regulatory and political risk associated with their proposed acquisition of an Australian resource asset, during the scoping phase of the transaction. Statecraft identified the key political, regulatory and stakeholder risks relating to the asset and developed a strategy to minimise transaction risk and secure required government and regulatory approvals. This feedback helped shape the approach the investor took to the transaction. Statecraft was then incorporated as part of the investor’s transaction team, helping secure a positive outcome in a potentially challenging environment. Subsequently, Statecraft provided ongoing public affairs, regulatory and investor relations support for the investor’s Australian asset.
- Investment Strategy and Scenario Analysis for Mining Company — To assist in planning for potential operational changes, a mining firm wanted to understand how various economic and political drivers might impact on the future operations of their business. Statecraft consultants advised on likely legislative, regulatory and political risks for future resources developments and highlighted potential M&A opportunities from inbound investors.
- Transaction Support for Port Acquisition — Statecraft advised a major offshore corporation on a proposed merger with a multinational ports operator. Statecraft advised on legislative, regulatory and political risks regarding ports and intermodal connectivity in a number of Australian States, with a particular focus on the eastern seaboard. Statecraft’s assistance helped secure Australian regulatory and competition clearance for the transaction and to effectively manage risk throughout the transaction.
