Practice areas/Advice & Compliance
Advice & Compliance
Practical judgement calls on the regulatory questions growing businesses actually face — privacy, ACL, AML, employment, WHS and directors' duties.
Fixed fee. Senior lawyer.
Every engagement is quoted upfront and led by a senior lawyer — never a paralegal-first pipeline.

Where it needs a document, policy or training rollout, we handle that in the same engagement.
FAQs
Common questions.
- Can I just ask a one-off compliance question?
- Yes. Send it through and we'll scope a fixed fee to answer it in writing. Simple questions are often $500–$1,500 + GST.
- Do you review existing policies or do we start from scratch?
- Either. If you already have a policy, we'll mark it up against current law and your actual business. If you need one from scratch, we'll draft it around how you operate rather than a template.
- Do you handle regulator correspondence?
- Yes — ASIC, ACCC, OAIC, AUSTRAC and APRA. We prepare responses and, where appropriate, sit in on interviews or meetings.
- Can you help with an AFSL application or variation?
- Yes. We prepare and lodge AFSL applications and variations, draft the supporting proofs, and advise on responsible manager requirements and ongoing licence obligations.
- How quickly will you come back to me?
- You'll hear from a senior lawyer within one business day with a scoped, fixed-fee proposal — no hourly billing and no obligation to proceed.
