Our financial services and superannuation team sits at the forefront of global market and regulatory trends.
Superannuation is central to Australia’s financial system and one of its most complex and heavily regulated sectors. Australia’s superannuation system is the fourth largest in the world, managing more than A$4.3 trillion in assets, and continues to grow in scale, sophistication and regulatory scrutiny. Ongoing reform, heightened compliance expectations and enforcement activity by APRA, ASIC, the ATO and other regulators can create material legal, operational, strategic and reputational risk.
We help clients understand and navigate their obligations, risks and opportunities across the full lifecycle of superannuation and financial services products — from fund establishment and product design to governance, disclosure, prudential supervision, investigations and enforcement. We work closely with key regulators and actively contribute to market discussions on policy and regulatory reform as Australia’s framework continues to evolve.
Our team regularly supports clients in their dealings with APRA, ASIC, AUSTRAC, the ACCC and the ATO, bringing a strong global perspective through deep relationships with international pension funds and specialist advisers.
The breadth and depth of experience and industry expertise across the team means that we turn to Corrs for their judgement on our most complex and novel regulatory matters
In superannuation they're very good at being across the law, but also very good at thinking more holistically around how the law can apply to the business and the situation.
