What Our Clients Need to Know
At Agar Singh Legal, we are committed to providing trusted legal advice while meeting our legal and ethical obligations. From 1 July 2026, Australian law firms providing certain legal services are subject to new obligations under Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) regime.
What Does That Mean For You
As part of these new requirements, we may need to verify your identity, obtain information about the source of funds involved in your matter, and better understand the purpose of certain transactions. These checks are now a legal requirement and apply to many legal matters, including property transfers, business transactions, trusts, and some family law financial matters.
To make this process as simple and secure as possible, we use a secure electronic verification system. You may receive a link asking you to complete an identity verification or provide additional information before we can continue acting on your behalf.
Our Commitment to You
We understand that providing additional information can sometimes feel inconvenient. Our team will guide you through the process and ensure your personal information is handled securely and in accordance with our privacy obligations.
If you have any questions about the AML/CTF requirements or the verification process, please contact our team. We are here to help.
