AFSL House

Our Story

Confidence to operate and innovate

When you are building in a regulated industry, the wrong legal advice costs more than money. It costs time, momentum and confidence. Peter Hagias founded AFSL House in 2020 after watching too many good businesses stall on slow, generalist advice from lawyers who did not understand how regulators think.

We are no ordinary law firm. We pair deep regulatory and industry knowledge with real insight into how ASIC, AUSTRAC and other regulators think, so you get clear, commercial answers fast and stay clear of scrutiny. We also go further than any traditional firm, with all-in-one solutions you will not find anywhere else. Today we act for clients across crypto, funds, payments, lending, insurance and broking, locally and internationally.
