New Requirements8/7/2026 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. Depending on the work we're doing for you, we may ask you to provide identification, confirm details about yourself or your business, or explain the purpose of a transaction. These checks are a legal requirement and apply to law firms across Australia.
We understand this may be something new for many of our clients, and we'll do our best to make the process as quick and straightforward as possible. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our team. Comments are closed.
