Robin Johnson – CEO Hutch Underwriting Pty Ltd
Paul has become an invaluable resource for us, helping us to set up our risk and compliance framework and navigate the complexities of modern regulatory compliance in Aus.
We provide pragmatic, General Insurance-specialist compliance advice to support business change or impacts—so you can continue to do business or implement new distribution, claims or operational models while staying within regulatory and Code expectations. Advice is delivered in the format that suits the pace of the business, from structured forums to rapid email guidance.

Robin Edgecliffe-Johnson – CEO, Hutch Underwriting
Paul’s services were invaluable in obtaining our AFSL and setting up our risk and compliance frameworks. He should be the first call for anyone thinking of setting up an Aussie insurtech or Lloyd’s coverholder.

Anything with a compliance angle: a new product idea, a distribution arrangement, a claims process change, or a grey area you’re unsure how to handle. If it touches your AFS licence or industry codes, we can advise on it.
A health check reviews your whole framework on a periodic basis. Compliance advice answers a specific question or proposal as it comes up. Many clients use both: a health check to find the gaps, and advice to work through decisions in between.
Yes. Our job is to find a way to yes wherever one exists, not to tell you what you want to hear. If a proposal carries real regulatory risk, we’ll say so plainly and explain why, then work with you on what would need to change to get there.
Yes. We work exclusively across the general insurance sector, which means our advice is grounded in how your part of the industry actually operates, not generic compliance theory.
Bring it to us. We’ll help you find the way.
