NEWS: Russell Kennedy is a proud VMBSG Platinum Alliance Partner

Russell Kennedy is delighted to announce that we are now VMBSG’s Platinum Alliance Partner and preferred legal services provider.

Russell Kennedy has maintained a longstanding connection with the Victorian Municipal Building Surveyors Group (VMBSG). Over the years, we've engaged with VMBSG across a range of initiatives and have participated in numerous events and seminars, contributing in various capacities. Principals Elizabeth Flanagan, Daniel Silfo and Louisa Dicker from the local government compliance and enforcement team are active members of the group.

In announcing the partnership, VMBSG said "(Russell Kennedy's) generous support and trusted expertise are a huge part of what helps us deliver valuable events, resources, and professional development to our members. We’re excited to continue working together to strengthen and support Victoria’s building surveying community."

For VMBSG members, the Platinum Alliance partnership means continued collaboration between the VMBSG and Russell Kennedy to provide:

  • professional development seminars delivered by Russell Kennedy;
  • enhanced networking opportunities (with plenty of giveaways), and
  • ongoing support for the VMBSG Women’s Network.
