Baker & McKenzie and Clayton Utz are advising on a merger between two Australian financial planning firms. The combination of Melbourne-based Snowball Group Ltd. and Sydney-based Shadforth Financial Group Ltd. will create a firm with around $14 billion under management.

Under the proposed agreement, Snowball will offer Shadforth shareholders 2.15 Snowball shares for each Shadforth share they hold, an acquisition that would cost Snowball approximately $192 million. The offer will leave Shadforth shareholders owning 71 percent of the merged business. The transaction is subject to shareholder approvals.
