Australia | Middle East | CIS
A new standard of legal service.
Every engagement is shaped by our world-class experience, forged inside leading sovereign wealth, asset management, and superannuation institutions.
We are a Sydney-based law firm advising on investments and transactions, superannuation and regulatory matters, and corporate and commercial law. Our clients include private capital investors, fund managers, superannuation trustees, financial advisers, family offices, and growing businesses. We operate at your commercial speed, with fixed fees.
WHY ENGAGE US
Three reasons clients choose Arthur Legal & Advisory — and stay.
We have multinational institutional experience.
10+ years across four sovereign wealth and superannuation institutions in Australia and the Middle East (Mubadala, Abu Dhabi Investment Council, AMP, and Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation) executing cross-border transactions, structuring mandates, and navigating regulatory frameworks.
We understand your stakeholders
Investment committees, boards, trustees, regulators — we have operated in those rooms. We structure advice that is designed to be received, not just technically correct.
We work at your pace, with fixed fees
We understand the time sensitivity our clients often face — deals, deadlines, and decisions that can't wait on a large firm's process. We also understand the fee certainty they need, so every engagement is structured as a fixed-fee, project-based instruction.

Governing with AI at the speed of markets

Why secondaries have become a strategic portfolio tool for super funds
For much of the early 2000s and into the mid-2010s, private market secondaries were viewed as a solution of last resort for when portfolios were distressed or when investors required early liquidity. Today, that perception has shifted markedly, and secondaries are recognised as a strategic component of portfolio management, supporting liquidity, rebalancing, concentration management and value extension.
