Navigating the complex landscape of workplace laws and regulations can be challenging. At Foye Legal, we provide expert guidance to ensure compliance, protect your rights, reputation, and business interests, and give you peace of mind. In navigating these complex legalities, the right lawyer is everything for achieving the best outcome in challenging times.
Regulatory compliance refers to adhering to the laws, rules, and guidelines that govern workplace practices. This includes:
Failing to comply with these obligations can result in legal disputes, financial penalties, or damage to your professional reputation.
Our team of skilled employment lawyers offers tailored advice to individuals, businesses, and organisations, including:
For employees, understanding regulatory compliance is key to ensuring fair treatment and protecting your rights in the workplace. If you suspect your employer is violating workplace laws or failing to meet safety standards, we can provide advice on how to address the issue and protect yourself from retaliation.
For employers, compliance is essential to avoid disputes, maintain a positive workplace culture, and protect your business from legal or financial consequences. We work with businesses to implement proactive compliance strategies that ensure obligations are met and risks are minimised.
Common compliance issues we address include:
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) wields an array of formidable investigative powers which it can deploy based on its discretion. Among these powers is the authority to issue a notice under Section 19 of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission Act. This notice necessitates individuals to furnish information, submit documents, or partake in a mandatory examination. Section 19 notices are particularly significant as they can be issued if ASIC harbors reasonable grounds to surmise that an individual possesses information that could be instrumental in aiding an ongoing ASIC investigation. It is essential to recognize that ASIC’s investigative powers are extensive and can be daunting, therefore, consulting an ASIC investigation lawyer is invaluable. Foye Legal can offer you astute advice and representation in dealing with Section 19 notices and other ASIC investigative measures.
When you receive an ASIC notice, it’s crucial that you understand what obligations you are under (as well as what ones you aren’t). Our team frequently appears at examinations on behalf of our clients and advises on the breadth of the examination, what documents are to be supplied and safeguards our clients’ rights throughout the investigation. We also defend clients who have been charged by ASIC (and other regulatory authorities) with criminal offenses related to corporate or commercial misconduct, such as fraud or other dishonesty. Our team can help you obtain direct and effective counsel if you have any concerns about a potential or actual ASIC investigation.
Navigating an ACCC investigation can be a challenging and complex process. The team at Foye Legal are here to provide guidance and support every step of the way.
