Our Approach to Conflict of Interest

At Ainsworth Albright Lawyers, we serve a diverse range of clients—businesses, organisations, and individuals—particularly in the areas of corporate, commercial, and cross-border legal matters. As a result, we may occasionally receive instructions from a client whose interests conflict, or potentially conflict, with those of another client. 

​

In such cases, we adhere to the Solicitors’ Conduct Rules and other applicable professional standards under Australian law to ensure the protection of client interests and the integrity of our professional duties. 

Before accepting any new instructions, we conduct a thorough conflict check to identify any actual or potential conflicts of interest. Where a conflict is identified, we may implement the following  safeguards as appropriate:
 

• Clear separation of legal teams assigned to each matter.

• Implementation of information barriers (Chinese walls) between matters.

• Internal compliance oversight and regular policy review.
   

These measures allow us to manage confidential information appropriately and maintain the trust of our clients. 

For more information regarding our conflict management protocols, please contact the lawyer in charge of your matter.
