About us
The BFSLA connects members with ideas. We were established in 1983 to share information on banking law and practice and since then, have expanded to encompass financial services and insolvency law. Our aim is to provide thought leadership on issues relevant to our members through connecting with some of the world’s leading practitioners, academics, regulators and members of the judiciary. As well as providing deep insight into technical legal issues we also pride ourselves on giving practical guidance on how things work in the real world as we recognise that excellence in banking & financial services and insolvency law is more than just an understanding of the black letter law. Our members are lawyers and insolvency practitioners from law firms, banks, financial institutions, trustee companies and insolvency firms at all stages of their career. Our Future Leaders Committee supports members who are just starting out in banking & financial services and insolvency to help them navigate their way through the legal landscape and achieve their full potential. Each year our marquee event is to hold the leading conference for banking & financial services and insolvency law in Australia and New Zealand. In recent years we have been privileged to have such leading jurists as Lord Neuberger, President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, Lord Hoffman, Lord Hope, Judge Peck (who presided over the Lehman Brothers insolvency), Professor Philip Wood, Chief Justice Sian Elias, Justice Dyson Heydon and Justice Gageler. Members of our Conference Planning Committee work tirelessly to ensure that we have world class speakers on topics that are relevant to our members. In particular, we carefully select the program to ensure that we have a balance of sessions dealing with technical legal issues and practical topics. The annual conference is also a great opportunity for members to get together in a relaxed environment to share ideas and knowledge.
