Advice
If you would like advice from Legal Services, please forward us any associated documentation and a completed Legal Services checklist.
We use the checklist as our formal instructions and for our departmental records, and we need to receive a completed, signed checklist before we can register a new matter and allocate it to a lawyer. Please complete the checklist and forward it to Legal Services. Your matter will be registered, and then allocated to a lawyer to action, in our weekly Friday allocation meeting (or more often for urgent matters - there is a field on the checklist where you can explain why a matter is urgent). Once the matter is allocated, you will receive an email advising you of which lawyer will be helping you with your matter.
Note: this information applies to all non-research matters. For research matters, including research agreements/contracts, please see the Melbourne Research Office website
