Kingsley Lawson Lawyers was proud to sponsor the Brisbane Bulldogs in their campaign to achieve back-to-back premierships in the 2026 State Championships.

The Brisbane Bulldogs fought hard in the final but injuries took their toll and ultimately the Bulldogs lost 6-4 to the Wide Bay Whales. The Bulldogs should be extremely proud of their result. Well done to all the players and team staff on their efforts!

Kingsley Lawson looks forward to our continued partnership with the Bulldogs in 2027.

In 2012, Mr Jones made a TPD claim under a group life policy issued by Hannover Life. Although it was accepted that he could never return to his pre-injury tradesman work, his claim was declined as the insurer considered the claimant could work in roles which did not require retraining.
