AML/CTF Reforms – Important Update

From 1 July 2026, there will be changes to how we collect and verify client information. These updates are required under amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006.

What this means for our clients:

  • We may need to complete identification and verification checks for new matters
  • In some cases, we may request additional information or documents before we can proceed

To make this process as simple as possible, we’ve partnered with a trusted third-party provider to assist with these checks. All information collected during the verification process, is handled and stored in accordance with JHK Legal’s Privacy Policy

We appreciate our clients understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact our office.
