Payright completes IPO
King & Wood Mallesons has advised Payright on its successful initial public offering (IPO).

Firm: King & Wood Mallesons (Payright)
Value: Undisclosed
Area: Equity capital markets
Key players: The team advising Payright was led by King & Wood Mallesons partners David Eliakim and Nicola Charlston and senior associate Anthony Boogert, with support by solicitors Rhiannon Parker and Jordonne Colley.
Deal significance: Payright is a Melbourne-headquartered company that is housed in the buy now, pay later (BNPL) sector, specialising in mid-sized consumer purchases.
“The buy now, pay later space has been subject to a lot of recent regulatory scrutiny,” said Mr Eliakim, commenting off the back of the transaction.
“Being able to easily identify and resolve potential issues with an IPO requires a huge amount of collaborative input from specialists across the firm in areas such as financial regulation and capital markets.
“KWM’s fintech strength comes being able to call on a deep cross-practice team to achieve a great outcome for its clients.”
