ContactsLaw captures the addresses of your contacts for the purpose of sending written correspondence, location-based profiling and managing business registration details.

Types of Addresses

ContactsLaw supports multiple types of addresses, each serving a specific purpose:

Physical Address: The actual location of a business or individual.
Mailing Address: Used specifically for sending correspondence.
Registered Office Address: The official address for business registration purposes.
Custom Addresses: Addresses with custom labels for specific needs, such as property locations.

Address Data Integration

ContactsLaw comes pre-loaded with data from Australia Post to streamline the process of entering addresses. This feature includes:

Forward Lookup: Enter a suburb name to retrieve the corresponding postcode.
Reverse Lookup: Enter a postcode to retrieve the corresponding suburb names.
Country and State Lists: Choose from a list of predefined countries and states to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Flexible Address Formatting

By storing addresses in component form, ContactsLaw offers maximum flexibility:

Local and Domestic Addresses: Can be simplified by omitting the name of the state or country.
International Addresses: Adjusted for clarity and layout preferences.

Address Inheritance in ContactsLaw facilitates efficient management by allowing addresses to be inherited from related contacts. For example, adding a mailing address through ContactsLaw’s correspondence editor ensures its direct use for sending correspondence.

For personal addresses, such as contact's home at "123 Virtual Ave, Subiaco," ContactsLaw accurately records residential details. When a contact inherits an address from the entity, any updates made to the entity's address automatically update contact's inherited address, maintaining consistency across all relevant records.

Managing contact details extends beyond addresses within ContactsLaw. It encompasses phone numbers and email addresses, ensuring seamless integration across communication channels. Updates made to contact information propagate uniformly throughout associated records, enhancing overall operational efficiency and data consistency.
