DLA Flying Fox; Going Green in Curious Ways

Posted by The Spy | Posted in DLA Phillips Fox, Spy HQ | Posted on 12-10-2008

DLA Phillips Fox has introduced a peculiar initiative this month to help focus firm attention on the need to use

DLA Phillips Fox going green
sustainable energy. As well as ‘awareness’ programs, DLA is enforcing a ‘No Travel Week’ from 13 to 19 october. During this period all staff are required to refrain from all non-client travel.

The Firm Spy has crunched the numbers and calculated that unless you have a DLA Flying Fox from your bedroom to your office window, this is your first class [green] ticket to a week off work!

Is your firm making environmental changes? Are you eco-friendly? Do you smoke the herb?

Lawyer Redundancies at Sparke Helmore

Posted by The Spy | Posted in GFC Redundancies, Sparke Helmore | Posted on 11-10-2008

With regular reports of international law-firm redundancies a regular news-cast, talk in the Australian landscape has

Lost that sparke
been, until now, relatvely speculative. Alas, the GFC tentacles have spread locally as the need to sack workers has touched Sparke Helmore.

As reported in the Financial Review, Sparke Helmore head of HR, Damian Dooley, has confirmed that 3 staff members were made redundant as ‘part of normal organisational change’. Two of the three redundancies were legal staff members.

Sparke Helmore is yet to confirm whether the lawyers and staff lost represent the entire number of employees it intends to make redundant as its response to the GFC.  If you know more than us, let us know! Share your thoughts and comments with the Firm Spy.
