Law Central, a leading provider of online legal documents

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2012 – Leading accounting network Walker Wayland Australasia Limited has introduced a new legal services product to help members streamline their service to clients.

Walker Wayland Australasia Chairman Grant Allsopp announced today that the network has signed an agreement with Law Central, a leading provider of online legal documents.

“Accountants need access to legal documents on a daily basis,” Allsopp said. “Without this new service we have to refer our clients to a lawyer for some day-to-day documentation.

“Law Central offers us online legal documents covering a range of services, including loan agreements, equity transactions, some business sale agreements and a number of ATO-related tax issues,” he said.
