Financial Services Regulation

Our Financial Services Regulation team helps clients navigate complex regulatory landscapes, focusing on compliance and gaining a strategic advantage.

How we can help

It’s our business to keep up with the regulatory, social and commercial challenges of the financial services industry. With this knowledge, our experienced team gives clear and focused legal advice so our clients can move forward with assurance. We’re also great at getting to the bottom of complex issues, identifying problems and developing strategic plans to fix them. Our clients rely on us through the full commercial landscape, from platform development, products and transactional advice to regulatory engagement, risk, compliance programs and investigations. We have a seat at the table with all major regulators including ASIC, APRA, ACCC, OAIC, ATO and AUSTRAC. This keeps us well informed, as well as playing a part in shaping the development of financial services regulation in consultations, significant investigations and enforcement proceedings.
