About Us

Confidant Partners are your trusted advisers. We have decades of experience and have worked with a wide range of companies in diverse industries. We work closely with Boards and senior management to navigate the rigours of building and growing your company. We provide peace of mind for your compliance, outsourced company secretarial, corporate legal and governance requirements. We are experts at the ASX listing rules and Corporations Act. Founded in 2023, Confidant Partners is led by David Hwang and Andrew Whitten, who collectively have over 40 years’ experience sitting on Boards and advising ASX listed entities. Having previously founded, managed and built the largest outsourced company secretarial and corporate legal service provider in Australia – David and Andrew know a thing or two about the unique needs of pre-IPO and ASX listed entities – which ultimately, is based on a sincere and unwavering trust, when it comes to delivering timely, accurate and pragmatic advice. As Confidant Partners also serves as a corporate legal firm, our clients not only benefit from vastly experienced company secretaries, but also access to highly qualified and experienced corporate partners and lawyers. Our principals are supported by an experienced team of company secretaries, corporate lawyers and consultants. At Confidant Partners, our clients engage us not only for our technical expertise, but our pragmatism and nuanced commercial understanding of the various drivers that create shareholder value and propel companies forward.

Company Secretarial

We have witnessed first-hand how impactful and cost effective it is for our clients to have an experienced company secretary on board but also, to have seamless direct access to highly qualified and experienced corporate partners and lawyers that are able to provide trustworthy and precise counsel on a moment’s notice. This is particularly important for our clients that operate and manage listed companies, as the requirement for legal and company secretarial advice, often overlap – especially when the complexity of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, are considered. As a result, a hybrid retainer that covers both company secretarial and corporate legal services is by far, the most popular retainer of choice for our clients. Given the flexibility of our retainer, we often work closely with in-house/general counsels (to provide additional bench strength) and their external legal advisers (to project manage significant transactions on the company’s behalf).
