Our finance team is also responsible for the financial reporting of the firm including submission of financial reports to management and external parties (ie our accountants, bank and the ATO), payroll and investments.
Rebecca Limberger
Client Services Manager
Murdoch Lawyers knows the importance of having outstanding client service. As a referral based business, it is the firm's goal to ensure that all clients receive consistently exceptional service throughout their dealings.
Rebecca manages these service standards particularly from a "first impressions" role at Reception. Rebecca also assists in the business development functions of the firm such as involvement in corporate and community events and supporting lawyers to build and maintain their business and client relationships.
Catherine
Kirkwood
General Manager
Our management team's responsibilities are broad and therefore require extensive management experience, particularly in the legal industry. The role involves implementation of systems and procedures covering every aspect of the firm's operation. Catherine helps to oversee total operation of the firm including finance, team development, business development and strategic planning.
To support our desire for best practice, we need to utilise our legal software system (LawMaster) to its fullest potential. Court forms, legal documents and general correspondence need to be continually updated and maintained to ensure an efficient workflow for our lawyers. Regular liaising with our lawyers is crucial to help them best utilise our technology.
Catherine has commitment and a real passion for people and business.
