Presenting the August legal content update! Over the past month, we've released new matter types for Tasmania, expanded our Marketplace Precedents, and made numerous additions and updates to the forms in our Precedent Library. Now, let's check out the highlights! You can also see the full list of this month’s updates here

 

New Matter Types for Tasmania

 

Commencing our expansion into Tasmania-specific matter types, this month we released the following matter types for Estate Planning: 

  • Will Matter Type; and
  • Estate Planning Lead

Along with these matter types, we also released a new precedent suite and more Estate Planning matter types for Tasmania will be rolled out in the coming months.

 

Matter Type Improvements 

 

This month we also made several exciting and highly requested improvements to existing matter types as follows:

 

For Personal Injury Matter Types in NSW (specifically Workers Compensation, Victims of Crime, Motor Vehicle Accident), the Accident Details layout has been updated to include the Anticipated Settlement Date field.

For Conveyancing - Sale matters in Victoria, the Property Details layout has been updated to include a new section 1.5, to provide for the Commercial and Industrial Property Tax Reform Act 2024:

For our Family Lawyers across all States (excluding WA), we also added the Child Details sublayout to the Financial Agreement matter type, which now allows you to record details of the child’s primary caregiver, educational institution and school grade.
