1 July 2026 — law firms & conveyancers must comply

The deadline for law firms and conveyancers is 1 July 2026.

If your firm handles property transactions, manages client money, or sets up companies and trusts on behalf of clients, you have AML/CTF obligations from 1 July. Most small and mid-size legal practices do. AMLKits generates your five required compliance documents through a guided questionnaire — about 20 minutes, $397, done.
