We promise we’ll make it easy.
Anti-Money Laundering laws are there to protect New Zealand against criminal activity (it’s a bigger issue than it might appear).
This means that we — and every other law firm — must undertake due diligence on customers, including asking for specific identification.
We’re required by law to obtain this identification before we can begin work, even if we’ve dealt with you before (apologies!).
To streamline the process, please complete the secure form below. We’ll use it to verify your identity electronically. By submitting, you authorise us to match the details you enter against various electronic databases, including:
- New Zealand Transport Agency
- Department of Internal Affairs
- Global AML registry
- Centrix Credit Bureau
- Land Information New Zealand
- New Zealand Companies Office
In some situations we’ll need additional information — if so, we’ll come back to you as soon as possible.
