Financial Services

The financial services regime is a complex web of law and policy which impact all participants in the financial services sector. The changes introduced to the Corporations Act require all participants to operate in a highly regulated and transparent manner.

The McCullough Robertson Financial Services Group is the largest group of specialist practitioners in Queensland. We advise and assist a wide range of financial services clients including small financial planning practices, fund managers, hedge funds, agri-business, insurance companies, superannuation funds, retail banks and broking firms located throughout Australia.

The financial services regime is a rapidly changing area of law with ASIC constantly issuing updated guides and discussion papers. Our depth of experience and resources allows us to quickly respond to new developments and assist our clients in growing their business.

Our opinions in this area are highly sought. Our lawyers regularly lecture to industry groups as well as running workshops in the financial services area on such topics as licensing, registration, fundraising and compliance. McCullough Robertson have also, with the Law Book Company, authored three editions of 'A Practical Guide to Managed Investments' with the most recent edition published in 2008. 'A Practical Guide to Managed Investments' is an essential reference for those acting as existing responsible entities of managed investments or those considering embarking on a career in funds management, their advisers and their investors.
