Financial Services Regulation
DLA Phillips Fox's dedicated financial services practice has been in place since financial services reforms were announced in 2000.
We’ve invested substantial time and resources analysing and understanding legislation, regulations, ASIC Regulatory Guides, APRA's Prudential Standards, and the ongoing regulatory and prudential reforms. Our clients benefit from this investment through advice that combines up-to-date legal knowledge with practical solutions.
We deliver:
- In-house experience – our financial services team includes lawyers with in-house compliance experience either in financial services companies or with regulators. They have a commercial and practical understanding of the operational challenges facing our clients when delivering financial services in an ever-changing regulatory environment.
- Strategic insight – by combining our detailed knowledge of financial services and products and by developing a strong understanding of your business and the unique issues and challenges it faces, our lawyers can help your business meet its regulatory and prudential challenges.
- A commercial approach – our lawyers provide legal knowledge, compliance experience and commercial acumen that help our clients manage legal risks so they can concentrate on business opportunities as they arise.
