Media release 20 January 2010
Commercial law firm DLA Phillips Fox, supported by The Australian Trade Commission (Austrade), is proud to announce the launch of Doing Business in Australia, a practical guide for foreign investors on how to establish or expand a business in Australia.
The electronic publication provides an overview of Australia and Australian laws and regulations, and also provides information specific to the infrastructure and construction industries. Tony Crawford, Chief Executive of DLA Phillips Fox said there were significant opportunities for foreign investment in these two sectors:
"There are a limited number of construction and infrastructure players operating in the Australian market, and this, coupled with an increase in major infrastructure projects, means that opportunities abound for international providers."
Nicola Watkinson, National Manager, Investment at Austrade said:
"The Australian Government welcomes foreign direct investment. Government programs and policies currently target investment in clean energy, financial services, business services and infrastructure as particular areas of opportunity and focus. This guide – Doing Business in Australia – provides a wealth of practical advice on establishing or expanding a business in this country.'
Doing Business in Australia will be accessible from 20 January 2010 via the DLA Phillips Fox website: www.dlaphillipsfox.com. For further general information on investing in Australia, visit: www.austrade.gov.au/Invest.
