About the company

legalsuper's origins are in Australia's law institutes and societies. It has delivered superannuation solutions for members in the legal industry since 1989. The Legal Industry Superannuation Scheme (LISS) was established by the Law Institute of Victoria (LIV) in March 1989. The Law Industry Superannuation Trust (LIST) was established by the Law Society of New South Wales (LSNSW) in early 1989. On 28 February 2005, LISS and LIST merged and the merged entity was named legalsuper.

The LIV and LSNSW became joint shareholders in the trustee of legalsuper, Legal Super Pty Ltd. In 2007 the Barristers Superannuation Fund established for New South Wales' Barristers merged into legalsuper. In 2009, the Blake Dawson Partners Superannuation Fund and the Victorian Barristers Superannuation Fund merged into legalsuper.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Members approaching retirement and those weighing up their superannuation arrangements describe consistently attentive service from this industry fund. Several customers highlight the depth of knowledge shown by Benjamin Fernandes, whose explanations of investment choices, income protection and salary sacrificing are repeatedly called clear, practical and adjusted to personal situations. Jenet Pyliotis is also named for guiding members through transition-to-retirement strategies and superannuation decisions, with her manner described as professional, engaging and easy to follow.

A detail many reviews return to is the speed of reply, with queries answered promptly and appointments held by video or screen sharing when members need help using online tools. Longstanding members note that support has stayed personal across many years, and the fund's direct investment offering is mentioned warmly. Reviewers value the friendly, patient way complex topics are broken down, and some credit one adviser for relatives opening accounts. Trust, clarity and continuing communication are the recurring themes across these accounts, with the adviser's readiness to field even small questions standing out alongside his careful explanations of each member's position.

I've been with this firm for about 16 years now, I think, and they have always been incredibly helpful and patient, even during the long and messy process of tracking down all of my many different superannuation accounts and consolidating them. More recently, though, I just can't say enough about the help and the kindness of my Client Service Manager, Jenet Pyliotis. I am not an easy client to deal with, being pretty well challenged in the matter of filling in forms and of anything financial, but Jenet never wavered in her unfailing patience and her ability to explain complicated matters in terms that a layperson can understand was truly legendary.

I recently had my first meeting with Benjamin Fernandes about my super, and it was a really positive experience. He came across as professional, friendly, and easy to talk to right from the start, which made the whole conversation feel comfortable. He explained things clearly and showed a strong understanding of superannuation, which gave me confidence that I’m in good hands. I also appreciated how approachable he was, no question felt too small to ask. Overall, a great first impression and I’m looking forward to working with him moving forward.

I met with Jenet Pyliotis to discuss a TTR strategy as I head into the next phase of work and retirement. She was engaging, informative and very supportive. I will definitely reach out to her with any questions I have. Thanks for your insights Jenet.

I recently consulted Benjamin Fernandes, and am very impressed with Benjamin's knowledge and customer service. Benjamin provided sound advice and, with his very solid knowledge of the subject matter, was able to address all of my concerns, all in a friendly and professional manner. I'd highly recommend Benjamin.
