About
Provided by Ashurst Perkins Coie – London, New York, Seattle, Sydney
As one of the most recognised and respected regulatory teams in Australia, we are the "go-to" firm for solving complex and reputationally significant regulatory issues. Most recently, we have advised ANZ Bank in relation to both the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry (Royal Commission) and have advised a number of domestic and global financial institutions and major insurers on the implementation of the Banking Executive Accountability Regime (BEAR) / Financial Accountability Regime (FAR).
We are known for consistently bringing experience, common sense and strategic insight to the work we do for local and global clients on their significant Australian regulatory issues and bringing together non-contentious and contentious regulatory capability to advise Australian and international banks on all regulations relating to licensing, conduct and disclosure, including regimes such as the Corporations Act, Banking Act and APRA regulation, NCCP, AML/CTF regulation, and Code of Banking Practice.
Complementing our market-leading Australian regulatory team, we have a strong global team of regulatory specialists located in the world's key financial centres and our team works together closely across our network of offices to address global regulatory issues, as well as to ensure we are aware of what might be on the horizon in relation to regulatory change and policy.
