OUR SERVICES
Three areas of institutional-quality focus

From fund reviews and deal structuring through to M&A and capital raises — domestic and cross-border
Superannuation
& Regulatory
SMSF compliance, AFSL support, trustee obligations, and regulatory change — Australia-facing only
Corporate & Governance
Contracts, governance structures, and ongoing legal advisory for operating businesses and family offices
OUR STORY
From Inside the Institutions
Arthur Legal & Advisory was built on a straightforward observation: the legal work that matters most to private capital clients, fund managers, and growing businesses — deals, structures, regulatory compliance — has historically required a large firm and a large budget.
Arthur Marusevich spent over ten years inside the institutions those clients deal with. At Mubadala and Abu Dhabi Investment Council, he executed cross-border investments and fund transactions. At AMP and Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation, he managed regulatory obligations and investment governance at scale.
The firm delivers that experience directly — at fixed fees, with senior-level execution on every matter.
WHY ENGAGE US
Our three pillars
Three reasons clients choose Arthur Legal & Advisory — and stay.
We have done this work from the inside.
Our principal has spent years executing transactions, structuring mandates, and navigating regulatory frameworks from within sovereign wealth funds and superannuation institutions — not advising them from outside. That distinction shapes how we approach every engagement.
We work at your pace, not ours.
Engagements are structured as fixed-fee, project-based instructions. No open-ended retainers, no billing by the hour, no surprises. You know what you are paying and what you are getting before work begins
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.

Governing with AI at the speed of markets
Australian APRA-regulated super funds manage more than $3 trillion in retirement savings through governance frameworks designed before dynamic asset allocation, private credit co-investment, and real-time geopolitical repricing became standard features of the investment landscape.

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.

Super is no longer ‘set and forget’ – especially for HNW investors and SMSFs
For decades, superannuation was Australia’s ultimate long-term wealth engine. High-income earners and business owners were encouraged to maximise contributions, invest for growth, and let compounding (backed by generous tax concessions) quietly build their retirement wealth.
