My first day back after a lovely summer break

My first day back after a lovely summer break…

And..

I must admit the Melbourne CBD seemed quite quiet.

To me that’s a great thing.

I love this time of year. It gives us an opportunity to get ahead with our plans and get the ball rolling for an efficient 2026.

A few things I’m thinking of for the year ahead are:

1. Onboarding a new lawyer and potentially a few more…we are very busy which is great but we keep building the team to ensure we always have capacity!

2. Narrowing our legal focus on our core areas of expertise, that is disputes in building (particularly insurance) and financial (mostly shareholder oppression and restraint of trade). Getting niche means we can help our clients even MORE efficiently and get better results.

By the way, for all our professional clients we are still advising on PI insurance and professional contracts. It’s a great time of year if you need these reviewed to get a fresh set of eyes before the year begins.

3. Locating a lawyer or firm who has a background in wills and estates and who wants to partner with our firm in delivering services at Torquay Lawyers. If that might be you, reach out. I’d love to talk to other lawyers and firms.

Finally, here’s to a clear run from Melbourne to Torquay. No traffic on the Westgate means happy days.

If you’re still by the beach, enjoy the rest of this holiday period, nothing of course is more important the time with family and friends.

And here’s to an amazing 2026!
