about Kim

Kim O’Reilly’s clear-cut approach to commercial law has earned her a reputation for consistently delivering successful outcomes across a range of complex transactions. Her strengths lie in business structuring, private and public mergers and acquisitions, takeovers, joint ventures, capital raising, IPOs, corporate governance and general commercial and corporate advisory work.

“My goal has always been to be in my clients’ corner, making sure they feel supported and understood. Whether I’m helping them get their start-up off the ground, steering them through the twists and turns of M&A transactions, capital raising, or public offerings, I aim to cut through the complexity and give them the confidence they need to succeed.”

With over two decades of experience, no script is the same. Kim understands the ins-and-outs of both listed and private environments, so her clients have come to expect practical and commercially sound advice. To this point, Kim is especially sought after by financial institutions, investment banks, and large corporations.

Clients trust Kim for her consistency in delivering clear, digestible advice that drives their business forward. For Kim, being involved in pivotal business decisions and helping clients achieve their goals is what makes her work so rewarding.
