Thank you for joining us at the Woollahra Hotel for our Sports Lunch Series, proudly hosted by SLF Lawyers together with CANE Financial.

With State of Origin in the air, we were lucky to be joined by former NSW Blues representative and three-time premiership winner Luke Keary, whose career has taken him through the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs and onto the Origin arena with NSW Rugby League in the NRL spotlight.

Huge thanks to Alexander Hughes for hosting the Q&A and drawing out the real stuff, the mindset it takes to perform at the top level, the intensity and pressure that comes with Origin and a few stories that had the room properly entertained.

A fantastic turnout and a great atmosphere. Thanks again to everyone who came along and made the afternoon such a success.

In construction, the real risk is often not the build itself. It is the moment everything starts to stall.

A late payment can slow the job.

A variation dispute can create tension.

A subcontractor conflict can affect the whole site.

These issues are common. But when they are not handled properly, they can turn into bigger problems that cost time, money and trust.

Good legal support should not add to the pressure. It should help bring clarity, protect your position and keep the project moving.

Site issues can turn into people pressure very quickly.

One delay can affect the client.

One payment dispute can hit cash flow.

One subcontractor disagreement can put the whole job under strain.

What people often do not see is the pressure this puts on the person trying to hold everything together.

Good legal support should bring more than answers on paper. It should bring clarity, calm and direction when things feel messy.

That matters not just for the project, but for the people carrying the weight of it.

Mother’s Day can be full of love. It can also be heavy.

For some, it’s a day of joy and gratitude.

For others, it’s a first Mother’s Day after separation. A complicated co-parenting arrangement. A day marked by distance, grief, infertility, family violence or a relationship with a mother that never felt safe. Some are missing their mum. Some are missing their children.

We see the full range of stories that sit behind a calendar date, especially in family law. If Mother’s Day is hard for you, you’re not overreacting. You’re human.

If you’re navigating separation right now, a gentle reminder: you don’t have to solve everything today. Focus on what protects the children’s wellbeing and your own stability. Keep communication clear. Put agreements in writing. Ask for support early, before small issues become big ones.

To the mothers and mother figures in our community and to anyone carrying the mental load with quiet determination, we see you. We are wishing you care, steadiness and the kind of support that makes the next step feel possible.

If you need calm, practical guidance through a family transition, our Family Law team is here.

What good looks like in a workplace dispute (and why your culture remembers it).

Good is not “winning”. Good is everyone walking away with their dignity intact, the team still trusting leadership and the business not losing months to stress, gossip and churn.

In a workplace contract dispute, good looks like this:
You slow the temperature down, get clear on what the contract actually says, then move early into negotiation or mediation where it makes sense. The aim is a solution people can live with, not a scorched-earth email chain that poisons the relationship.

In enterprise bargaining, good looks like leading with safety and clarity, not just compliance:
A psychosocial risk plan is not a “nice to have” anymore. Under the model WHS laws, a PCBU must manage risks from psychosocial hazards.

There is also practical guidance available, including the Commonwealth Work Health and Safety (Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work) Code of Practice 2024, which supports changes to WHS Regulations that came into effect on 1 April 2023.

So “good” bargaining is building agreements, policies and day-to-day ways of working that reduce harm, not just tick boxes.

We help business owners set the parameters early, so disputes are handled fairly, consistently and calmly, with a process your managers can follow and your people can trust. It protects culture and it protects leadership when the pressure is on.

If you’re dealing with a live dispute, or you’re updating your approach to psychosocial obligations, we can help you map the next step.
