DMAW Lawyers would like to thank Leo Walsh, one of our founding principals, for an exemplary 23 years’ service and congratulate him on his retirement at the end of this year. Putting the "W" in "DMAW", Leo Walsh started the firm in January 2002, with colleagues Glenn Davis, Suzanne Mackenzie and Ramsey Andary. Leo played an integral role in the establishment of DMAW Lawyers, also holding Managing Partner, and later Managing Director, responsibilities for most of his time at the firm. Leo’s unwavering commitment, vision and guidance have been instrumental in shaping the firm, and his leadership has not only helped drive the success of DMAW Lawyers, but also inspired those around him to strive for excellence. In celebration of Leo's career and achievements, staff were invited to come together on our Level 12 rooftop terrace for some brief formalities, including speeches from Bernice Witkowski, Glenn Davis and Leo himself, followed by drinks and nibbles. DMAW Lawyers congratulates Leo on an outstanding career and for truly going beyond to contribute to building the firm into the great business that it is today. https://lnkd.in/gqP89brp #DMAWLawyers #Retirement #Careers #Celebration #CommercialLawFirmAdelaide

What do these changes mean for your business? And how can you protect yourself against the risk of increased litigation costs?

This will impact not just the businesses directly required to report, but potentially their entire supply chain. Nicole Mead explains what businesses need to know and how to get prepared. https://lnkd.in/g4cgQ2_v #DMAWLawyers #ClimateReporting #Sustainability #ESG #CommercialLawFirmAdelaide
