Australia's foreign investment framework is relevant for a wide range of transactions. Recognising its importance across multiple practice areas, Practical Law's Banking and Finance, Corporate and Commercial Real Estate teams have worked together to produce new and updated resources on Australia's foreign investment framework.

The key resources available to enable subscribers to get to the bottom of foreign investment issues faster include:

• Practice note, Regulation of foreign investment in Australia (updated) (available to Corporate Transactions and Banking and Finance subscribers). This resource has been republished in a substantially revised and streamlined format to incorporate revised guidance from our contributing practice area experts.
• Practice note, Foreign investment in Australian land (available to Corporate Transactions, Banking and Finance and Commercial Real Estate subscribers).

These resources are designed to help untangle the complexities of the foreign investment rules and give lawyers a head start when considering whether the foreign investment rules apply to a transaction. While written in a way that is easy to digest, there is no compromise on the depth of the information these resources contain.
