Foreign Investment
Foreign investment approvals can feel like navigating in fog. Expectations shift, the process can be difficult to read, and outcomes aren't always predictable.We understand how Treasury and FIRB approach reviews, not just the rules, but the thinking behind them. That perspective helps clients navigate with clarity and position their proposals for success.

Frequently asked questions

What makes RGC's foreign investment advice unique?

Our team includes former senior regulators from the Treasury Foreign Investment Division who designed and implemented FIRB's compliance programs, giving clients an unparalleled understanding of the regulatory mindset.

Do you assist with both initial FIRB approval and ongoing compliance?

Yes. We manage the entire lifecycle: strategic advice on approval pathways, preparation and lodgement of applications, and establishing post-approval monitoring and reporting protocols to maintain compliance.

What are the key risks associated with non-compliance under the FIRB Act?

Penalties for non-compliance are significant and can include civil penalties, divestiture orders, and criminal sanctions. Our focus is on proactive, defensible compliance to eliminate exposure.
