Legal Support for Members
Please engage with your Office at first instance for legal matters relating to the operation of your school.
As part of VACPSP’s commitment to support Members, it was decided in the Strategic Plan to engage with a trusted legal partner.
The opportunity was put out to tender and after consideration and consultation with VACPSP Executive, a successful relationship was formed with Brennan Law Partners.
The VACPSP and Brennan Law Partners have had a Memorandum of Understanding with Brennan Law Partners since 2018. As a result of this M.O.U. VACPSP members will have access to confidential, top class legal services.
Brennan Law Partners founder, Tyson has extensive experience with educational institutions, particularly those in the Catholic education space. Their principal solicitor, Tyson Brennan, was educated in Catholic schools from Prep to Year 12 and has also worked in educational roles within Catholic schools prior to his admission as an Australian Lawyer.
Their experience and passion for strong educational outcomes have allowed them to maintain and support strong connections with leaders within the education industry. Furthermore, their founders are both members of the Catholic Church and endeavor to uphold the Catholic ethos through the delivery of their legal services. They pride themselves on compassion and understanding for their clients as well as ensuring honesty and integrity underpin their professional and personal dealings.
Confidentiality.
All legal services accessed by VACPSP members with Brennan Law Partners will remain highly confidential.
Any and all information provided to Brennan Law Partners by a VACPSP member that is not in the public domain will be held confidential. Such information will not be used or disclosed to any other party without the prior written consent of the VACPSP member.
No persons other than the member who accesses legal services from Brennan Law Partners and the lawyer(s) at Brennan Law Partners will have knowledge of the legal services sought.
Funding.
The VACPSP will fund the first four (4) hours of legal assistance* provided by Brennan Law Partners to VACPSP members.
Any legal services provided by Brennan Law Partners beyond the initial four hours will be invoiced to the VACPSP member individually, or to their school, at the discretion of the VACPSP member. VACPSP members will be informed in advance should their enquiry be likely to extend past four hours of legal assistance.
Should any member wish to contact Brennan Law Partners for legal support, they may do so directly by contacting the dedicated VACPSP telephone number 0434 942 550. Brennan Law partners will deal with you directly so that your interaction may remain confidential.
Our partners. With thanks.
