With a stable legal and political system, a sophisticated financial sector, strong links to Asia-Pacific markets and a diverse economy, Australia continues to offer significant opportunities for domestic and international businesses.
At the same time, the Australian market faces challenges and emerging risks similar to other jurisdictions. While the overall economy is strong, inflation sensitive sectors such as construction, hospitality, and retail remain vulnerable, as evidenced by record-level insolvencies in the SME space, and the ongoing economic, social and political turbulence on a global scale still casts a shadow. Climate reporting, AI and privacy, modern slavery, forever chemicals and workplace matters are just a few notable issues that will be front of mind for businesses in the coming years.
With offices in Hong Kong and Singapore, and close relationships with leading firms in Australia and New Zealand via our Global Access and TerraLex networks, we are exceptionally well placed to advise clients on disputes and arbitration, data and cyber, corporate and insurance matters.
