We took a short break from our busy day to share a cake together and celebrate as a team. Moments like this are a small but important part of our firm culture.

Our team has recently grown again — and with it, our shared commitment to delivering thoughtful, reliable legal services.

At W & G Lawyers, we believe strong legal service is built not only through experience and technical skill, but also through trust, communication, and collaboration within the team.

Each month, we make time to come together outside the office — to reflect on recent matters, discuss complex issues, and consider how we can continue to grow as a team. These shared moments help strengthen the judgement, teamwork, and trust that are essential to the way we work.

What we are building is more than a legal practice. We are building a team that clients can rely on for the long term.

When clients come to us, we do more than review documents. We help them think through the issues, understand the risks, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Whether you are facing a commercial lease dispute, contract risk, business uncertainty, or simply need a professional legal perspective before making an important decision, our team is here to assist.

If your business sponsors skilled workers on a Subclass 482 (Skills in Demand) or Subclass 186 visa, there is a deadline you cannot afford to miss.

From 1 July 2026, the minimum salary thresholds for employer-sponsored skilled visas will rise — automatically, and without any grace period. Nominations lodged on or after that date must meet the higher figures. There is no discretion. There are no exceptions.

With four months to go, the window to act under the current thresholds is shorter than many employers realise.

W & G Lawyers recently attended the InfoTrack Ready-Set-Go AML/CTF Roadshow in Brisbane, a national workshop designed to help legal professionals prepare for upcoming changes to Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws. These reforms will expand existing compliance obligations to a broader range of professional services, including law firms.

While these changes primarily affect how legal practices operate behind the scenes, clients will notice some new procedures when engaging our services from 1 July 2026. This article explains what AML/CTF laws are, why they now apply to law firms, and exactly what to expect when working with us.
