Last week, members of the Tonkin Legal Group team, St.John Heath, Ash Soklevski and Joe Charbine, attended the Law Australasia 2026 SIG Conference in Adelaide, participating in the Family Law & Estates Stream under the theme “Practising in 2026 and Beyond.”

The conference brought together practitioners from across Australia to discuss emerging trends, evolving client expectations, and the future of practice in family law and estate planning.

A particular highlight was Joe Charbine’s presentation of a case study on Meint & Lyall [2026] FedCFamC1A 24. The case considered the valuation of a minority shareholding in a private company within family law property proceedings and confirmed that a theoretical valuation may not reflect the practical reality of what an asset is worth where shareholder agreements significantly restrict its transfer or sale.

We are proud to see our team continuing to contribute to the profession, share knowledge, and remain at the forefront of developments in family law and estates.

Thank you to Law Australasia for hosting another outstanding conference.

A great afternoon at the Greensborough Football Club Sportsman’s Lunch! 🏉 💚

We were proud to support the GFC and enjoy an afternoon of great stories, plenty of laughs and some fantastic company, with AFL champions James Hird and Tom Mitchell along with comedian Tom Siegert

For our very own Joe, however, the highlight was pretty clear…As a lifelong Essendon fan, meeting James Hird had Joe in his element! 🔴⚫️

A fantastic event and a great opportunity to connect with our local community. Thanks to the Greensborough Football Club for having us!

Great to attend the Watsonia Heights Football Club President’s Luncheon, where Ash Soklevski joined club members, supporters and local residents to celebrate the important role community sport plays in bringing people together.

The event featured a keynote address from Football Victoria CEO Dan Birrell, alongside insights from Club President Dave Lattazino, Senior Men’s Coach Mick Cronin, Junior Club President John Letteri and Senior Women’s Coach Dotti Tsokas. It was a fantastic opportunity to hear about the club’s achievements, future aspirations and the strength of grassroots football in our local community.

Clubs like Watsonia Heights FC are at the heart of our community, creating opportunities for people of all ages to connect, stay active and build lifelong friendships.

The day was capped off with a terrific result on the pitch, with the Senior Men’s team defeating rivals West Preston 2–1 in a hard-fought contest. A great afternoon celebrating community, sport and local success. ⚽💙💛
