Generally that authorisation will be sought from you in person when it is apparent that you will require,
for instance, tax and accounting services (provided by JPH Tax) as well as financial planning
services (provided by JPH Capital). Otherwise, JPH Group will seek that authorisation from you in
writing.
In some circumstances, outlined under 'Conflicts management' below, persons who work in or have an
ownership interest in a particular business unit will be prevented from accessing information on
your file in that business unit.
Conflicts management
In some circumstances JPH Group may be acting on behalf of two clients in relation to a single
transaction.
Generally this arises in respect of the Mint Business Brokers business unit where, for example, Mint may
be acting for the vendor of a business or real estate, and sells (or proposes to sell) that business or real
estate to a different client of another JPH Group business unit.
In such circumstances, JPH Group will apply the following protocols (Conflicts Protocols):
Mint will not act for both a vendor and purchaser in respect of the same business or real estate;
The other client will be represented by a separate JPH Group business unit;
Where Mint has an owner, employee or officer in common with the other JPH entity, then strict matter
protocols will be effected such that no person in the JPH Group – regardless of their capacity - will
have access to both client files (sometimes referred to as a 'Chinese wall'); Consistent with the JPH
Group's confidentiality policies and obligations, neither JPH entity will share information about their
respective clients;
Information about the respective clients' positions will only be disclosed as instructed by each relevant
client, consistent with commercial arm's length dealing.
