Compliance & Governance

In the wake of numerous high-profile corporate collapses and the tightening of corporate regulation across the globe there is now a much greater emphasis on compliance by regulators and shareholders alike.

Company directors and senior managers cannot be complacent in managing their compliance and governance obligations.

We help clients to pro-actively and effectively manage compliance risk. We provide advice on:

  • ASX Listing Rules
  • Corporations Act
  • directors duties
  • Competition and Consumer Act (previously Trade Practices Act), Privacy Act, Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Personal Property Securities Act, Australian mining statutes and other relevant laws and regulations
  • corporate governance charters and structures
