The Law Slater and Gordon in difficulties

[AM]

Everyone hates lawyers until they need one.

Although seeing Slater and Gordon in difficulties causes me no sleepless nights at all - it is karma for having made the cashiered Julia Gillard a salaried partner.

Who, while rubbished in the popular press and people like you, was cleared by the Royal Commission of any wrongdoing. But let's not spoil a good story with the facts.

What I stated about Julia Gillard is a fact in the public domain. As are comments by legal commentators (not mine) based on what it was she was cleared of - which may surprise you (or not).

Save a thought to all the clients of S&G who wouldn't have access to the legal system if it weren't for plaintiff law firms. Ambulance chasing might be distasteful to some but it has a legitimate purpose

I dont even think medusala would deny their role in society.

But what Slaters have done by going public, is they have changed their role, and built in a requirement for revenue growth, capital growth, and a business model. It is patently clear, this is incoherent with their founding ethic. Its a paradox. It also shifts plaintiff suits into more sectors of society and the economy. Where it may have had a role at a certain arbitrary point in civil law and society, now it is infusing itself into further sectors of modern life. And meds would be right on this. And right on his original position of accepting them, but maintaining his right to pot them and sling grenades in their direction.

deltablues she was not a salaried partner tho was she?

She was a partner, and then the partnership had a problem with her, with her relationship and union friendship to the guy and the house in abbottsford. So then she nicks across and is Brumby's chief of staff when Brumby was opposition leader in the Kennett years on Spring St. (well before Bracks, when Brumby is the opposition leader a decade before) I dont know exactly how it all goes down, a tad too young, but I thought this is how it went. Contra Mundum can flesh this out


edit: I was incorrect here. I was thinking DB was saying partner as in equity partner. When I remember exactly the same thing as DB, but my brain was trailing behind

No,It's just the case that the only time people hear about plaintiff law firms in the media involve those types of ridiculous cases that you've mentioned. Without the big plaintiff firms like S&G there are no big class actions such as the recent one over the Kilmore fires. Also were are nowhere near as litigious as the US.

Whilst it's funny to laugh about ambulance chasers they play a pretty important role imo and the only people who should really hate them are insurance companies and captains of industry.

I think you missed this bit:

There are, of course, legitimate cases, but there's a shitload of cases that exist under the pretence of people refusing to take responsibility for their own decisions and instead wanting someone else to pay.

I read in the Press somewhere or on a legal blog that she was an SP - but if that is incorrect then I am wrong on that point.

I might be mistaken too. I suppose I could google, but I have an inherent objection to that....

CORRECTION!!!

oh, I just saw "partner", even tho I read salaried partner, my brain was thinking equity partner. I just saw "partner", even tho I read it perfectly well, and assumed you were writing equity partner.

so, my error. you were correct.
go on folks

And I think you missed this bit - "No,It's just the case that the only time people hear about plaintiff law firms in the media involve those types of ridiculous cases that you've mentioned."

You don't hear about the thousands of bread and butter actions they handle because they don't sell papers.

Now there's a circuitous meaningless post.

I have an interest in commentary from folk with a current legal practicing certificate. Can't readily recall any who would have made a call on Julia unless they were doing so for base political reasons. On the other hand, there were plenty in the commentariat like Bolt - who finds it hard to walk and chew at the same time - who were more than happy to make arses of themselves. Something Bolt does twice a week.

The only thing that counts is that in a politically set-up Royal Commission Gillard was found to have done nothing wrong. End of!

And you just outed your political alignment, which raises questions of bias.
