Blue Sky Program

Being a progressive law firm means finding new ways to enhance our clients' success. Providing traditional legal services is one thing but in a highly commercialised and competitive market that has, by necessity, a strong global focus, our clients are entitled to expect more from us. 

Our Blue Sky Program is focused on meeting that expectation. It is designed to achieve two principal goals:

• to assist Australian businesses with existing products and services to enter into overseas markets, such as the United States of America and the Middle East, and to work with clients interested in accessing overseas capital markets to raise capital for their businesses and other corporate activity
• to bring business from overseas for the benefit of businesses operating in Australia.

The Blue Sky team is working with a varied group of clients with businesses in such industries as food and drink, technology and telecommunications, energy and resources and home and commercial furnishings.

Our Blue Sky Program delivers many benefits to our clients, including:

• access to our overseas contacts and experience
• introductions to our relationships and networks
• information about relevant current and emerging business trends
• the development of new business opportunities inside and outside Australia
• the documentation of transactions more effectively given our 'upfront' involvement in their formation.   

The Blue Sky Program also benefits our people. It shows them how business operates in practice and gives them an opportunity to think like business people with the added benefit of legal knowledge. It also allows them to work creatively and think innovatively about developing new methods and processes.

Our Blue Sky team is led by partner Levent Shevki and Carolyn Falcone, Senior Associate.
