We also need to have accurate name and address information for us to comply with the trust account record-keeping requirements in the Legal Profession Regulation 2005 (NSW) and to comply with our duty to the courts.
If you're a client and don't provide us with your name and address, unfortunately we can't act for you.

-
Third party service providers who help with archival, auditing, accounting, legal, business consulting, website or tech services.

Will information be shared overseas, and what security measures do you have in place?
Not unless we have agreed this with you, or where it's necessary for us to provide legal services to you.
We take reasonable physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
Access, Correction and Updating Personal Information
You can contact us to access, correct or update your personal information.

Examples of where we might not be able to provide you with access to your personal information include where it might impact the privacy of others, it is commercially sensitive, or where it may be unlawful to provide access.
Where you ask us to correct your personal information we'll do so or note your request for amendment if we consider this more appropriate. We won't charge you to make a request for access but may charge to actually provide access based on the costs relating to obtaining and providing the material.
