You may notice that we're asking for a little more information than we have in the past.
From 1 July 2026, Australian law requires law firms to verify the identity of clients and, in some cases, collect additional information before providing certain legal services. These new requirements are part of Australia's efforts to combat money laundering, terrorism financing and other serious financial crime.

As lawyers, we tend to see things after they’ve gone wrong. Consider this a little nudge to do some housekeeping now—before it becomes a much bigger problem later.

Let me give you two real world examples from just the past year:
​
1. The Case of the Wrong Building
​
A client was diligently paying insurance on their property… except it wasn’t their property. Due to an administrative mix up, the policy covered the building next door. If disaster had struck, they would have been left without insurance on their building.
 
2. Residential Insurance, Commercial Reality

​From the entire team at Arthur Browne & Associates, we wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
 
Our office will close at 5pm Tuesday 23rd December for the Christmas break and will re-open at 8.30am Monday 5th January 2026.
