Lawyers investigate NAB, Macquarie compensation
2015-02-23 09:02:40| Automakers - Topix.net

John Berrill, a principal at Maurice Blackburn, which is representing victims of advice scandals at Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Macquarie Private Wealth, said the firm had received calls on Monday from customers of NAB Wealth after Fairfax Media revealed at the weekend that NAB had paid $10 million to $15 million in compensation over five years to 750 customers who received inappropriate advice.
