Financial Services Regulation

About

Provided by MinterEllison

Embracing new opportunities, expectations and competitors


Increased scrutiny. Implementing FSRC recommendations. A global pandemic. Few industries have faced such continual change as the financial services sector. The industry is embracing fast-paced digitisation, increased cyber and privacy security requirements, the introduction of the consumer data right, DDO and other regulatory obligations.


Organisations need to look ahead and anticipate what the community wants and what regulators and government expect from their financial services providers. To be relevant and thrive, organisations need to evolve and reinvent themselves. More than ever, you need a multi-disciplinary team of legal practitioners across strategy, regulation, risk, and governance. A team with breadth and depth of experience that you can trust to deliver to your business objectives.


Regulatory developments


Managing risk and complying with regulation is becoming increasingly complex. Our team specialises in unlocking opportunities and leading the delivery of engagements with governance, legal and risk representation at major corporates.
