Michael Quinn

Senior-led M&A advice backed by decades of accounting, legal, valuation and commercial experience.

Michael Quinn has over 30 years’ experience as a Chartered Accountant and more than 25 years as a practising Lawyer. He is a Director and Co-Founder of The Quinn Group and leads Quinn M&A’s advisory mandates across significant private transactions in the Australian mid-market.

His role is not to operate as a standalone adviser. He leads the transaction, supported by a fully staffed in-house team within the broader Quinns ecosystem across legal, tax, valuation, structuring and execution — giving clients both direct senior judgement and broader platform depth.

What this means for clients

Clients get Michael’s judgement — not in isolation, but with the backing of a broader team.

The real value is not just Michael’s credentials. It is the combination of senior personal involvement and access to a fully staffed in-house team within the Quinns ecosystem.

Clearer judgement

Financial, legal, tax and valuation considerations are more likely to be aligned from the outset.

Less fragmentation

Clients are not left coordinating disconnected external advisers across the transaction.

Senior-led execution

Michael remains directly involved while the broader team supports diligence, structuring, documentation and implementation.

Michael and the team

Michael leads the mandate. The broader Quinns team strengthens the delivery.

Clients are not choosing between a single rainmaker and a faceless institution. They are getting Michael Quinn’s direct involvement and transaction judgement, supported by a fully staffed in-house team within the same broader ecosystem.

That broader capability sits across legal, tax, valuation, structuring and transaction support within The Quinn Group. It allows Quinn M&A to remain senior-led while still giving clients access to the depth and continuity needed for more sophisticated private transactions.
