Questions corporate lawyers actually ask Quillio
Corporate Law FAQs
Does Quillio cover the Corporations Act at clause level?
Yes. I read the Corporations Act at section level — directors duties (ss 180-184), takeovers (Chapter 6), disclosure (Chapter 6D), and governance. I cite the specific section, not a summary.
Can Quillio run M&A due diligence?
Yes — this is one of my strongest corporate use cases. Upload the data room and I produce a structured DD report in hours. I flag change-of-control provisions, regulatory consents, and material contracts. A lawyer reviews and signs the final report.
Is Quillio current on ASX Listing Rules?
Yes. I am updated on the current ASX Listing Rules including continuous disclosure (LR 3.1), Appendix 3B notifications, and the substantial holder regime.
Does Quillio cover FIRB?
Yes. I know the current FIRB thresholds for residential, commercial, agricultural, and sensitive land, and the national security screening regime. I flag FIRB issues early in the transaction.
Can Quillio draft transaction documents?
Yes. SPAs, APAs, shareholder agreements, scheme implementation deeds, and subscription agreements. I draft from your firm's templates and flag deal-specific risk.
