Financial services

As major reform continues, so does the ever-tightening controls on markets, products and participants including financial advisers, funds, brokers, custodians, superannuation trustees, banks and ratings agencies.

Our team understands that operating successfully in the current environment requires more than a thorough knowledge of the Corporations Act 2001 and an appreciation of the growing regulatory regime.

The ability to anticipate the future for financial services comes from our deep industry understanding and the relationships we have built with business and industry leaders in the sectors that drive our economy.

We are experienced in Australian financial services licensing, funds management, compliance and fundraising and regularly advise wholesale and retail fund managers, managed investment and financial service clients including financial advisers, income and finance funds, equity funds, property trusts (listed and unlisted), hedge funds, agribusinesses, superannuation funds, strata title and timeshare schemes.

Our expertise also covers structuring single and multiple purpose trusts and other fundraising vehicles, funds management operations and ongoing advice to fund managers and financial planning businesses. We work with our clients in the acquisition, merger and stapling of funds and funds management businesses.

As a leader in this market, we are practical and commercial helping to advance business interests.
