Last updated: September 2026

MBA Lawyers (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and store personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, as well as our professional obligations as legal practitioners.

What personal information we collect

The personal information we collect depends on the nature of your dealings with us. It may include your name, contact details, date of birth, occupation, financial information, details of the legal matter you instruct us on, and information about other parties relevant to that matter. In some matters we may also collect sensitive information, such as health information, where it is necessary to provide legal services to you.

How we collect personal information

We collect personal information directly from you when you contact us, complete an enquiry or questionnaire on our website, engage us to act for you, or otherwise communicate with us. We may also collect information from third parties where it is necessary for your matter, including courts, government agencies, other parties and their representatives, medical providers and insurers. Our website may also collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited through cookies and analytics tools.

Why we collect, use and disclose personal information

We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information to provide legal services to you, manage our relationship with you, comply with our legal and professional obligations, and improve our services and website. With your consent, we may also send you newsletters, updates and information about our services. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.

Who we disclose personal information to

We may disclose your personal information to courts and tribunals, barristers, experts and other professional advisers engaged on your matter, other parties and their lawyers where required to progress your matter, government agencies and regulators where required by law, and service providers who assist us to operate our business, such as IT, document storage and payment providers. We do not sell personal information.

Overseas disclosure

Some of our service providers may store information on servers located outside Australia. Where this occurs we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Storage and security

We hold personal information in electronic and hard copy files. We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including through secure systems, access controls and staff training. Files are retained for the period required by law and our professional obligations, after which they are securely destroyed or de-identified.
