Privacy Statement

Madgwicks is committed to respecting the privacy of your personal information.

Madgwicks is bound by the National Privacy Principles.  These principles have been embraced as part of our standard business procedure.  All personal information that enters Madgwicks is dealt with in a uniform manner, and security is maintained.

Collecting Your Information

Madgwicks holds personal information about its clients, and suppliers.  This information includes phone numbers and email addresses, and may also include other personal information.  Where necessary some limited financial information may also be held.

Use of Information

This information is held principally to enable Madgwicks to provide legal services to our clients, to properly record the incurring of professional costs and disbursements, and for the receipt and payment of trust monies.  It is also held to procure goods and services from its suppliers.  We also hold information to enable us to contact clients and others to inform them of services we provide and to inform them of legal issues and  developments.

Disclosure of Information

In the course of providing legal services it may be necessary that we disclose personal information to related service providers such as government departments, local councils, Courts, barristers, accountants, consultants and other professional advisers.  We will also disclose personal information where required by law.

As Madgwicks is a member of Meritas, a worldwide affiliation of approximately 200 independent business law firms, we may, at times, need to share personal information with our colleagues in other affiliated entities both overseas and in Australia.  This is in very limited circumstances and ordinarily your consent will be obtained in advance.
