Exceptional outcomes

Tattersall's Club / We advised Tattersall's Club on their recent success in the Supreme Court. In 2018, members cast their vote in a ballot on the amendment of the Club’s rules to allow women to join the club. The ballot was tight and found in favour of opening the Club’s doors to female members. A member complained that the ballot process was non-compliant with the Club’s rules and brought the matter to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rejected the challenge to the validity of the ballot on the grounds that the subject of the proceedings is not justiciable and that the postal ballot was “substantially consistent” with the Club’s voting process.
Complex Dispute Management / Advising our client, a not-for-profit operator of four private Schools in South East Queensland, in relation to the management of a series of workplace issues against the backdrop of intense public interest and media coverage. Our assistance extended to stakeholder engagement and the management and conduct of three separate workplace investigations and advising on outcomes and negotiated resolutions. The issues involved allegations of misconduct, breach of officer’s duties under the Corporations Act and breach of privacy legislation.  
Board of Architects of Queensland / Our team advised the Board of Architects of Queensland in a landmark matter, which resulted in the first ever recorded conviction against a company for 'holding out' offences under the Architects Act 2002 and the first recorded conviction against an individual in six years.
