DLA Piper was recently named as the lawyers appointed by government to investigate bullying / harassment etc in the military. that is hugely ironic. There are major issues in the Brisbane office of DLA Piper with one partner having been on a personal rampage of bullying (specializing in DEFENCEless female staff) over the last few years. Multiple claims paid out and signed up to ’hush’ deeds. A number of more recent departures were most likely as a direct result of his behavior and treatment of women. His behavior and attitude towards partners and staff must have been a factor in so many partners and staff leaving to join another firm.
Bullying in a law firm? Have you ever heard of such a thing? We wonder if the fine chaps in the Defence Department would be so keen if they knew they were taking advice from a firm that can’t get its own house in order. Then again, maybe you’d expect DLA has developed some “internal expertise” in dealing with these matters by now.
But hang on a minute – how will DLA even do the government work, now that it doesn’t have a Canberra office anymore?

Its always the bullies that end up staying in any organisation. Nothing new here. It would be great if government institutions took more due diligence into their procurement of legal services.
However, we are dealing with the Defence department. Perhaps its a match made in heaven in light of the bullying they did to that poor 18 year old girl with the sex tapes.
What is the story behind FS’s “suspension” yesterday morning?

Was it this post, the Nazi or FS simply forgot to pay its subscription with the website hosting services provider?
From what I have heard there are quite a few bullies at DLA Piper Australia……particularly in the support departments of marketing and Hr….! It was probably one of them that got Firmspy suspended for a day or so….! BULLIES ALWAYS GET FOUND OUT!
Congratulations FS for finally exposing this. Your spy got it right. The people who left here were the ones who stood up to him and wouldn’t accept the way he treated people.
