Section 19 ASIC Notice – Robust Strategy Needed

Receiving a section 19 notice from ASIC can conjure a range of emotions in the recipient.

Thoughts such as “what have I done”; “why is my employer/company being investigated”; and “why do ASIC think I can help them” - would be common.

It is true there are a range of legal consequences that can derive from a s19 notice and the legislation is both powerful and complex and an examinee should not approach the examination unprepared.

What is often overlooked though, amidst all the fear and tension and the rush to “second guess” prospective examination questions, is a strategy to ensure an examinee meets their lawful obligations to provide all reasonable assistance to ASIC personnel while ensuring they avoid self-incrimination or exposing themselves to civil or criminal liability.

That is where Level Field Lawyers can help. Robust representation in the examination and high-quality attention to detail both before and afterwards to ensure your legal obligations are met and your risk of penalty is minimised.
