Important information before your next appointment with us.
From 1 July, our firm is required to comply with new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws.
In practice, this means that we'll be asking a few extra questions before we can get started on your matter. You might be asked to help us with:
👧Verifying your identity
💵The source of funds involved in your matter
⭐️Confirming who owns or controls a company or trust
⭐️Providing our office with a bit more documentation than we've needed from you before
If your reaction is "haven't I already given your firm this information?" we hear you, and we appreciate your patience while we work through these new requirements.
To be clear: none of this is about doubting you. It's simply what the law now requires us to check before we can act for you.
We've spent the last few months getting ready by updating our processes and training our team so that these checks are as painless as possible.
All we ask is for a little extra time where needed. We'll always be upfront about what we need and why, and we'll do everything we can to keep your matter on track and progressing.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we adapt to these changes. We're grateful for the trust you place in us, and we look forward to continuing to help you through life's important moments.
