Former ASIC & Treasury Regulators
ASX Continuous Disclosure Support When It Matters
Expert legal support for ASX Aware letters, disclosure obligations, and ASIC matters. Law firm founded by former ASIC and Treasury regulators.
Keeping compliant isn't easy
ASX Aware Letter Received
ASX sent a query about market movements, media reports, or trading activity. Response deadline: 24-48 hours.
Quarterly Report Due
Quarterly cashflow report approaching. Internal debate about disclosure thresholds, materiality judgements, and format requirements.
Media Article Published
Media story published about your operations. Is it material? Should you respond? ASX might query. Board needs guidance.
Disclosure Dispute
Management believes information isn't material. Legal counsel disagrees. Timing is uncertain. Consequences of wrong call are significant.
Why ASX Disclosure Is Hard (And Getting Harder)
Continuous disclosure isn't your core business—but it's a constant compliance burden with severe consequences for getting it wrong.
The Reality
- Materiality judgments are subjective and context-dependent
- ASX Aware letters have tight deadlines (24-48 hours)
- ASIC enforcement has intensified
- Digital disclosure requirements evolving rapidly
The Stakes
- ASIC investigations and enforcement actions
- ASX suspension or delisting
- Shareholder class actions
- Reputational damage

Common Questions
What should I do immediately after receiving an ASX Aware letter?
Contact us as soon as possible. ASX queries typically require response within 24-48 hours. We'll analyse the query, assess your disclosure position, and develop a response strategy promptly.
What if we're already under ASIC investigation?
Contact us immediately. We'll work with your legal counsel (or provide direct representation) to develop an investigation response strategy and manage ASIC engagement.
How is RGC different from other law firms?
We're former ASIC regulators who enforced continuous disclosure rules. We understand regulatory expectations from direct oversight experience, not interpretation.
Can you help with routine quarterly reporting?
Yes. Our ongoing advisory service includes quarterly and half-year report review, ASX announcement drafting, and proactive disclosure advice. Onside provides structured delivery with built-in checks and approvals.
Can Onside replace our legal team?
No — and it shouldn't. Onside delivers managed compliance tasks and structured approvals, freeing your legal team for strategic work. For complex matters, you can escalate to our lawyers or yours.
