Despite being an attractive investment market, navigating Australia’s foreign investment process is difficult. Too many companies fail in their applications because they lack an understanding of the politics of foreign investment and the need to obtain a social licence. Cornerstone’s experts can help navigate the political maze for approval through stakeholder mapping and audits, and stakeholder engagement strategies and public affairs campaigns to ensure foreign investors obtain the necessary “social licence” to operate in the market, which is key to approval of an application. Our specialists also are able to assist with development of foreign investment applications, making sure organisations have the best chances at success.
