Celebrating 52 Years at the Bar: Honouring Derek and Brian

Celebrating 52 Years at the Bar: Honouring Derek and Brian

 This year, we have the privilege of celebrating an extraordinary milestone for two remarkable members of our profession — Derek and Brian, who each mark 52 years since being admitted to the Bar.

 Their careers are a testament not only to longevity, but to the unwavering dedication, integrity, and humanity they have consistently brought to the practice of law for more than five decades.

 What makes this milestone truly special is that both Derek and Brian remain actively involved in the firm every day. Their passion for the law has never diminished, and their commitment to our clients and our team continues to shape the culture, values, and stability of our organisation.

 Over the years, Derek and Brian have built client relationships that span up to four generations — a rare and powerful reflection of the trust and continuity they embody. Few practitioners can say they have supported families through life’s most significant moments across half a century. Derek and Brian can.

 Within the firm, their influence runs just as deep. They have been pillars of guidance and encouragement for everyone who has walked through our doors — from new graduates taking their first steps in the profession to seasoned practitioners navigating complex issues. Their doors have always been open, their wisdom generously shared and their support unwavering.

 Today, we honour not just 52 years of practice, but 52 years of leadership, mentorship and service.

 Thank you, Derek and Brian, for everything you have contributed — to the profession, to our firm, and to the countless people whose lives you have positively impacted.

 We are incredibly proud to stand alongside you as you celebrate this extraordinary milestone.
