Area: Banking and finance

Value: $325 million

Key players: Minter Ellison's Corporate M&A team was led by partners Gary Goldman and Daniel Scotti, with assistance from Stephen Knight (special counsel), Joel Farina (senior associate), Suzanne Marlow (associate), as well as Christina Ilinkovski and Meagan Ryan (lawyers).
