Yesterday afternoon, we celebrated the retirement of our beloved and much-appreciated colleague, Jim Byrne, after more than 60 years of legal practice.
Since 1958, Jim has practised as a lawyer in Brisbane and has been with Bennett & Philp since 2014, when he merged his firm with us.
Jim has played an integral role in the growth of our business since joining and is revered by his clients for his honest, practical and technically excellent advice.
Over 70 were in attendance with family, friends, clients and colleagues taking part in this important milestone.
Over 70 guests, with some travelling interstate, came along to celebrate this milestone with us. Jim was supported by his family, friends, current and past colleagues, and his loyal clients.
Jim Byrne, Barbara Houlihan, and Tony Bennett.
Bennett & Philp Founding Partner Tony Bennett, and one of Jim’s long-standing colleagues, Barbara Houlihan, shared some kind (and at times, hilarious), words about their experiences with Jim over the years.
Andrew Lambros, Michael Bigg, Jim Byrne, Lance Pollard and Mark O’Connor.
Thank you to everyone who attended, and congratulations to Jim on his incredible career. We’re looking forward to Jim continuing as a Bennett & Philp ambassador.
