Seminar Invitation | The Risks of Acting for/as Trustee Companies

Acting as a trustee comes with significant legal and fiduciary responsibilities, whether the trustee is an individual or a corporate entity.

Our upcoming Business Seminar will explore the key risks and common pitfalls faced by Corporate and Individual Trustees under the Trustee Act 1936 (SA), including trustee duties, record-keeping, administration, and compliance with the Trustee Regulations.

We’ll also examine the potential consequences of failing to meet these obligations, including personal liability, beneficiary disputes, regulatory scrutiny and, in some circumstances, removal of the trustee.

This session is ideal for accountants, financial advisors, business owners, directors, and professionals involved in trust structures, estate planning, and succession planning.

📅 Thursday, 22 October 2026
🕐 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
📍 DW Fox Tucker Lawyers, Level 14, 100 King William Street, Adelaide

What a wonderful evening we shared last night at our latest The Vixen Circle event, DW Fox Tucker Lawyers’ women’s support and networking group.

The evening brought together an inspiring group for meaningful conversation and connection, while supporting an important cause. 💙

We were delighted to support Vinnies SA and hear from the CEO, Clinton Jury GAICD, about the wonderful work Vinnies does. We were also honoured to have our special guest speaker share her powerful personal story of experiencing domestic violence and homelessness, speaking with incredible courage and honesty about resilience, hope, and the impact these experiences can have on people from all walks of life.

We were also delighted to welcome Vasse Virgin, showcasing their beautiful, all-natural skincare products made in the Barossa.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, shared in the evening, and helped make it so memorable.

The Vixen Circle is about empowering women, building meaningful connections and giving back to our community – and evenings like this remind us why that matters. 🥂✨

We look forward to continuing to grow this wonderful community and welcoming you to our next Vixen Circle event.
