Navigating Financial Services with commercially astute advisors

Kain Lawyers works with clients across Australia’s core financial services markets from fund managers through to life companies and wealth groups. We bring together deep regulatory knowledge and transactional expertise to help clients navigate Australia’s complex “twin peaks” regulatory framework, overseen by ASIC and APRA.

As enforcement activity intensifies and governance and accountability obligations continue to expand, we help our clients stay ahead. We act for established institutions and emerging market participants alike, giving us a well-rounded perspective on the full lifecycle of financial services activity from product design and compliance through to growth, investment and dispute resolution.
