Former Lawyer of Tina Arena and Kylie Minogue to be Investigated

Kylie makes her opinion known
Pop princess Kylie Minogue’s former lawyer, Michael Brereton, has been investigated on claims of common law misconduct, as reported in Legal Services Commissioner v Brereton [2008] VCAT 1723.

Hat tip to Lawyerslawyer:

Deputy President O’Dwyer found [Brereton] had transferred more than $2.3 million of clients’ money out of his trust account contrary to the trust accounting rules… She charged the solicitor with having a trust account deficiency

Brereton is also apparently embroiled in the government’s Operation Wickenby investigation. It is also interesting to note that Brereton once worked as Tina Arena’s legal advisor and that several Sydney Clayton Utz & Freehills partners invested in a scheme promoted by Brereton.
