From 1 July 2026, lawyers are required to gather more information from our clients.
This is because that the laws designed to prevent money-laundering and terrorism financing now apply to solicitors.
These laws require us to verify your identity and make more extensive inquiries about you when you engage us for some services, like conveyancing or transfering property, or when we accept funds from you into our Trust Account for some purposes.
We will need to do this when you engage us for a new matter, even if we have acted for you previously. You can read more information about this here.
