Australia has a globally significant mining and mineral resources industry and is home to several of the world’s leading resources houses and industry investors.
Corrs is widely recognised as one of Australia’s leading law firms for advising on mining and mineral resources transactions, with significant public and private M&A capability. We regularly advise on the most complex, high-profile and novel transactions shaping the future of the sector. We are leaders in the critical minerals sub-sector, and have extensive experience across Australia, Papua New Guinea and internationally, particularly in cross-jurisdictional matters.
With an ongoing, deep association with the mining sector, we provide strategic advice to major resources companies, developers, financiers and investors on all aspects of mining and mineral resources projects and transactions.
Our expertise covers the full lifecycle of mining and mineral resources projects, including:
- exploration and development, construction and operation of mines and related infrastructure and State Agreements;
- joint ventures, acquisition and divestments;
- financings;
- offtake, sales and marketing arrangements;
- ESG, planning, environment, native title and cultural heritage;
- decommissioning of mining infrastructure and rehabilitation of mine sites;
- tax and stamp duty matters; and
- regulatory investigations and all forms of dispute resolution.
We assist clients to develop investment structures, obtain foreign investment approvals, raise funds from equity and debt capital markets and develop structures to attract funding and mitigate project risks.
