His work involves helping domestic and international clients undertake mergers and acquisitions, fundraisings, and a wide range of corporate related transactions.

One of Anthony's significant highlights was acting for the executive management team of Weetabix, on the sale by its private equity owner, Lion Capital, of a controlling interest to Chinese based Bright Food. Anthony worked with the management team throughout such process, ensuring their interests were protected at all times and coming up with creative solutions to overcome possible deal obstacles for the team.

Following completion of a corporate transaction that Anthony worked on, the managing director said "From the start, he was enormously responsive and extremely professional.....there was a combination of good experience, great service, good advice and real delivery. it was a delight. Anthony is also a very nice guy, and a very close working relationship evolved incredibly quickly."
