Further to our March 2018 article (Issue 20), a reminder that as of 1 July 2018 we will be making changes to the way we collect client information to ensure that we comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009. All law firms in New Zealand will be subject to these new rules.

“Customer Due Diligence” requires all law firms to undertake certain background checks before providing services to their clients.

Please contact the lawyer who will be undertaking your work if you have any queries or concerns; otherwise feel free to visit our website for more information: https://www.mortlock-mccormack.co.nz/about/anti-money-laundering-policy/
