Life Insurance Risk Products

Our practice in life insurance risk products has grown in tandem with the revolution in the life insurance industry. For instance, we advised on and drafted some of the first trauma products issued in Australia in the 1980's. Today, we act for Australia's leading wealth management businesses and provide advice and services in all types of life products, including distribution issues, compliance problems and related corporate governance concerns.

Areas of expertise in Life Insurance Risk Products are:
Claims Advice Life Insurance Act
Claims Litigation Policy Wording
Death Cover Privacy
Disability Income Product Development
Discrimination Product Disclosure
Distribution & FSR Regulatory Issues
FICS & SCT Statutory Funds
Group Business TPD & Trauma

Our long-term involvement with the industry has enabled us to grow a team of lawyers with a unique level of intensive experience across the area. Our clients are confident they never have to fly blind into an issue. Many of the members of our team have worked either in-house in the financial services sector or have worked with our clients on secondment and they know from experience the issues that count when it comes to delivering legal advice on a risk product.

Lawyer accessibility is one of the hallmarks of our culture. We are always commercially focused, solution oriented and practical.
