22.01.2022 To address the rising concerns of off-the-plan purchases, new laws will apply from 1 Dec 2019 which will impose on vendors extra disclosure obligations so as to allow purchasers greater transparency in their purchase, new remedies and stronger protections when purchasers buy property off-the-plan. Lawyers and conveyancers should take note that contracts will need to be updated to reflect these changes. More info below. #checkyourcontracts #lawreform #conveyancing #offtheplan #propertynews #propertyinvestments

Its important for lawyers to continue to support Legal Aid to provide services to families in the community who cant afford legal services.

16.01.2022 We are so happy for Emily for her admission today as a lawyer! Emily started her mentorship with us as part of the Metta Legal Mentoring Program, and weve watched Emily blossom over the years. Our Metta Legal family is so proud of her and her achievement! #lawyerlife #mentoring #admission #legaleagle #womeninlaw Tina Ng

15.01.2022 Speaking of delays, the Sydney Family Court registry advised our staff last week that consent orders are taking 10 weeks to be approved. That means orders are unlikely to be made before the courts break at the end of the year. This is for parties who agree. For those who dont agree and require judicial determination, the final outcome is much longer. As lawyers, we know there are delays in the court system and try our best to maneuver through it, but we also know how the wait affects our clients and their families emotionally and financially. #timetochange #familylaw #familycourt #federalcircuitcourt #lawreform #changeisneeded #courtdelays

04.01.2022 When our clients come to talk to us about their Wills and Estates Planning, we often ask them important questions they hadnt even considered. With some prompting, our clients are able to put together a plan for when they lose capacity or pass away, that will provide some security and certainty for their loved ones. To start the conversation, book an appointment today with one of our solicitors. #WillsPlanning #EstatePlanning #Deathplanning #wills #powerofattorney #appointmentofenduringguardian #yourlegacy

04.01.2022 Always check the contract terms for any Special Conditions regarding how your deposit in the purchase of your property can be handled prior to settlement. Its not unusual for contracts to include a Special Condition to allow the vendor to use the deposit in the sale of their property for the purchase of another property, and sometimes there are different variations of this clause embedded in the Special Conditions. If you are a purchaser and do not want your deposit to be used by the vendor prior to settlement, talk to your lawyer or conveyancer to negotiate the removal of this clause from the Contract of Sale.

02.01.2022 This is true of law degrees as well. The legal industry is very competitive, and its not just about whether you have a law degree but about whether you have the skills to do the work of a lawyer. Those skills are not just the hard skills but the soft skills are just as important. Many graduates with no work experience may find it difficult to find full time jobs as there is no assistance for graduates to employment like in other industries. Hence Metta Legals mentoring prog...ram has been so successful as each mentee has one on one guidance and supervision throughout the program, to ensure they can be job ready by the end of the program and importantly, to realise their path in what could be a very meaningful and fruitful legal career for them that helps people and changes lives. #nextgeneration #lawdegree #mentoring #lawyerlife #university #lawstudents #lawgraduates #changinglives #helpingpeople See more
