At My Lawyer Melbourne, our qualified team are equipped with extensive knowledge in Finance Law and can provide legal advice on any matter concerning Australian Financial Services Law. This could include:

• Advice regarding your general licensing obligations (appointments, training, outsourcing, breach reporting, dispute resolution, risk management), structuring or growth strategies.
• Assistance drafting or reviewing agreements (eg: Authorised representative and Intermediary agreements)
• Assistance drafting or reviewing customised disclosure documents (FSGs, SOAs, PDSs – we have all the acronyms covered!)
• Purchase or sale of an AFSL
• Legal disputes
• Responding to ASIC investigation or enforcement action

We can help with:

• AFCA complaints. Some of our lawyers had senior roles at both the Credit and Investments Ombudsman and the Financial Ombudsman Service (both of which are now called theAustralian Financial Complaints Authority).
• Regulatory Investigations. Some of our lawyers had senior roles at ASIC, and we regularly represent clients who are subject to administrative, civil or criminal action initiated by a Regulator.
• Litigation. Our team includes seasoned litigators who regularly represent clients in court proceedings.
