Alex Lazar

I am an associate in our Corporate and Commercial groups in Sydney. I assist clients with a range of commercial matters, including local and cross-border M&A transactions and corporate restructures.

Here at Bird & Bird, I focus primarily on conducting merger and acquisition transactions, advising on capital markets regulation and fundraising (including IPOs), and providing general corporate law advice. This work often involves cross-border elements and requires collaboration with specialists, overseas counsel and financial advisers.

I enjoy working with clients immersed in the 'new' economy, particularly in the technology, entertainment and media sectors.

I have experience working on all stages of the M&A transaction lifecycle, from conducting legal due diligence to preparing transaction documents and managing the deals through to completion. I have also advised clients on various commercial and regulatory matters, including negotiating and drafting a range of commercial agreements and advising on licensing and regulatory compliance.

Before joining Bird & Bird, I gained professional experience working at a specialist commercial law firm in Adelaide. I previously lived in Europe and am a fluent speaker of Polish.
