If you do not provide us with the full name and address information required by law we cannot act for you. If you do not provide us with the other personal information that we request our advice may be wrong for you or misleading.
Depending on the nature of your matter we may disclose your personal information to legal consultants we engage to assist us with your matter, counterparties, experts and barristers, ASIC, and other third parties that provide services to us and/or that are involved in the completion or processing of a transaction.
We do not disclose your information overseas unless your instructions involve dealing with parties located overseas. If your matter involves parties overseas we may disclose select personal information to overseas recipients associated with that matter in order to carry out your instructions.
Our legal practice management software provider uses the Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure and all data transmitted between us and the software provider is encrypted.
