3. Use of Automated Decision-Making & AI

Pursuant to the 10 December 2026 transparency requirements (APP 1.7):

 

  • Use of Technology: We may use computer programs or AI-enabled tools to assist in administrative tasks, such as initial conflict checks or document triaging.

  • Significant Decisions: We do not use fully automated systems to make decisions that significantly affect your legal rights or interests without meaningful human oversight by a qualified solicitor.

  • Data in AI: Any personal information processed by our secure, firm-approved AI tools is handled within our encrypted environment and is never used to train public models.

4. Disclosure & International Transfers

  • Legal Requirements: Courts, tribunals, or regulatory bodies like ASIC when required by law.

5. Data Security & Retention

We implement “State of the Art” security measures, including MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and end-to-end encryption for all client communications. We retain your data only for as long as required by the Legal Profession Uniform Law or for statutory limitation periods (typically 7 years).
