Local SMSF Legal Advice

At Provident Lawyers, we assist and advise clients with Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) on a range of issues.

SMSFs make up the highest number of superannuation funds and forms a significant proportion of the multi-trillion dollar superannuation industry in Australia. The number of SMSFs have grown at a steady rate every years and the growth is continuing. This growth is largely attributed to members wanting to take control of their investments in their superannuation fund whilst continuing to access significant tax concessions. Due to the tax incentives available for superannuation entities like SMSFs, it is a highly regulated environment.

At Provident Lawyers, we work with other professionals to provide all the necessary legal guidance and assistance to fund trustees in relation to operating and administering their funds.
