The Takeovers Panel is the primary forum for resolving disputes about a takeover bid in Australia. It seeks to decide disputes by focusing primarily on commercial and policy issues. The panel now consists of 49 part-time members, which now includes Ms Mak, from across Australia’s takeovers and business communities. 

Ms Mak is a leading M&A lawyer who has acted for both corporate and privacy equity clients across the globe on cross-border public and private matters, foreign investment, equity raisings, buy-backs and restructurings. According to the firm, Ms Mak also advises ASIC and ASX regulatory work and corporate governance issues.
