Australia and sanctions
On 30 October 2024 the existing Legal Services permit (SAN-2022-00079) was revoked and replaced by a new permit (SAN-2024-00138) which will expire in October 2026 (unless revoked earlier). Providers of legal services and services ancillary to legal services are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the new permit.
It is a condition of the permit that legal services providers and designated persons and entities (and/or their agents) notify the Australian Sanctions Office if they intend to rely on the authorisation provided by the permit.
Notifications and questions about the new permit can be sent to the Australian Sanctions Office by email at sanctions@dfat.gov.au or via the Pax portal.
