Clyde & Co LLP is home to ‘experts in financial services laws’ who are well placed to advise financial institutions on compliance, financial product development and transactional work such as acquisitions and portfolio transfer agreements. On the contentious side, the team has longstanding experience in acting on regulatory investigations and financial services litigation. Avryl Lattin, a key contact for insurers, helms the practice from Sydney; she frequently brings her government experience to bear on regulatory matters. Her colleague Dean Carrigan specialises in matters which fall at the nexus between the financial services industry and regulators. The two are frequently supported by Johann Spies and Isabella Jones. In Melbourne, Matthew Ellis is well versed in AFSL licensing and compliance, while Nicole Wearne is active in securities class actions. The Brisbane office saw the arrival of Liam Hennessy from Gadens Lawyers in April 2023.
