We were pleased to receive the following testimonial in this transaction:
“When a significant diversified ASX listed company presented themselves as a possible cold-call acquirer of our small manufacturing business, we wanted the right team to achieve the best possible result. As our business is not in mergers and acquisitions, we needed to find a law firm that truly supported us in the process as well as reflect who we are as a business. We were seeking an agile, modern M&A firm that would confidently represent us, act with integrity, and lead the sale process successfully on our behalf. Having appointed Rouse Lawyers, we instantly felt secure.
Rouse Lawyers managed the complex and substantial transaction process with ease; guided us on various options and recommendations at each stage; and demonstrated a superior level of professionalism and pace that outshone the top-tier law firms that the buyer had engaged. What truly set Rouse Lawyers apart was their in-depth and expert knowledge of M&A processes and precedence which resulted in a highly successful acquisition.
We couldn’t recommend Rouse Lawyers high enough. They are exceptional in their work and deliver superior results for their customers.”
