Scope of designated services
Out of scope: litigation, family, criminal, employment, immigration, personal injury. In scope: property and conveyancing, company and trust formation, certain commercial structuring, client-money management, and most M&A advisory that crosses into structuring.
Perth's resources-sector concentration brings additional volume of company and trust formation work into scope. Firms with project-vehicle setup engagements should expect material AML/CTF workload on those files.
Perth-specific considerations
Resources-sector engagements frequently bring offshore investors into the corporate structure. CDD on these clients needs deeper beneficial-owner capture than a standard local engagement. IFTI obligations arise when capital flows cross the border via the firm's trust account.
Caltury accommodates the deeper beneficial-owner workflow without flattening it. The customer form branches by entity type and surfaces enhanced due diligence prompts where the risk profile requires it.
Setup and pricing
Time to live for a 3 to 6 lawyer Perth firm is typically 6 to 10 hours over the 14-day trial. Practice tier (A$249/mo plus GST) suits the typical firm. Firm tier (A$499) covers up to 15 named users.
Founding-10 program offers 50 percent off for three years for the first 10 paying customers across Caltury. Several slots are taken.
Common questions
Does the Law Society of Western Australia regulate AML/CTF?
No. LSWA regulates practising certificates, conduct and trust accounts. AUSTRAC regulates AML/CTF independently under the Commonwealth Act.
Can our Perth firm handle the AWST time zone with founder support?
Yes. Support is async written and replies come within a few business days regardless of time zone. The application itself runs at comparable latency for Perth users via Cloudflare edge delivery.
What if we are a 2-partner Perth firm doing mainly resources-sector advisory?
The Practice tier suits a 2-partner firm with up to 5 named users. Resources-sector designated services (company / trust formation, structuring) are accommodated by the standard Caltury workflow with the enhanced due diligence fields surfaced when required.
Does Caltury cover WA-specific transaction paperwork?
No. Caltury covers the AML/CTF layer only. WA-specific contract and conveyancing paperwork continues to sit with your existing transaction software.
