Australian law. Built for builders.
Deep knowledge of the Australian regulatory landscape — ASIC, AUSTRAC, AFSL, and everything that's coming with DASA. We build compliance frameworks that work for how your business actually operates.
Compliance that works for tech companies, not against them.
Australian compliance for emerging tech businesses is genuinely complicated. The frameworks weren't designed with blockchain, AI, or platform models in mind — and they're evolving faster than most legal teams can keep up with.
We advise on the Australian compliance picture with an understanding of what it actually means to build and operate a tech company. We don't just tell you what the law says — we help you understand what it means for your product, your operations, and your growth plans.
The DASA framework is coming. AUSTRAC obligations for digital asset businesses are expanding. ASIC's approach to crypto is evolving. Privacy Act reforms are changing data obligations. We're across all of it, and we can help you stay ahead.
Key frameworks
AFSL Licensing & Exemptions
Australian Financial Services Licence applications, variation requests, and exemption analysis. We understand the licensing landscape for digital asset businesses, fintech platforms, and emerging tech companies — and how to navigate it efficiently.
AUSTRAC Registration & AML/CTF
Digital Currency Exchange (DCE) registration with AUSTRAC, AML/CTF program development, compliance training, and ongoing regulatory reporting support. We've helped multiple crypto businesses get registered and stay compliant.
ASIC Engagement & Strategy
Proactive engagement with ASIC, including regulatory sandbox applications, Innovation Hub engagement, and early-stage no-action requests. We know how ASIC thinks about digital assets and how to frame your business for a productive regulatory relationship.
Compliance Program Design
Compliance frameworks built for how your business actually operates — not checkbox exercises. Risk assessments, policies and procedures, compliance monitoring, and board-level reporting for tech companies with complex regulatory profiles.
Regulatory Change Management
The Australian regulatory environment for digital assets and AI is evolving rapidly. We monitor DASA developments, ASIC consultation papers, AUSTRAC guidance, and Privacy Act changes — and translate them into practical impact assessments for your business.
