Our primary focus is on financial services law.

Whether it be preparing an authorised representative agreement for your business, or assisting you deal with the regulator, we’ve seen it all and are well equipped to handle any situation.  Many of our lawyers and consultants have previously worked at ASIC, and understand the ins and outs of how the regulator operates.
