Practice Areas
Ruth advises superannuation trustees, employers and fund managers on all aspects of the regulatory ecosystem in which super funds operate. This can involve anything from helping trustees to develop innovative retirement income product offerings to analysing whether a major transaction raises regulatory issues to supporting clients in their interactions with regulators.
Ruth's decision to specialise in superannuation coincided with the start of our compulsory superannuation regime and she has ridden the many waves of regulatory reform since then. She has had a diverse career which has included working as in-house counsel and working with ASIC. These experiences enable her to offer clients a perspective on the policy context to the law as well as some understanding of its practical impacts. Ruth has worked extensively with clients on the development of retirement income products and annuities to address the evolving needs and expectations of retirees.
