Financial Services Regulation and Superannuation

Financial services regulatory compliance, reform and enforcement give rise to significant risks and can dramatically impact organisations.

Our superannuation experts help clients understand and explore their risks, obligations and opportunities across the superannuation sector.

We work closely with our financial sponsor clients in their dealings with key regulators including the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

We also work with industry and play a key role in shaping the market conversation around future policy and regulatory reform, influencing developments as Australia’s regulatory environment continues to evolve.

With strong relationships with international superannuation funds and specialist advisers, our financial services and superannuation team sits at the forefront of global trends.

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
