Guiding Our Clients In The Right Direction SCAMMELL WINS HIGH PLACE FOR EFFICIENCY An Australian wide survey of legal practices based outside CBD cities in each state has identified one of Adelaide's oldest legal practices as No.2 in Australia, in terms of management and efficiency. The firm, Scammell & Co, based at Port Adelaide, with an office in Franklin St. in the city, was very highly placed, in second position, in the survey undertaken by FRMC Legal of Sydney NSW, an independent body which has specialist skills in assessing the management of legal practices. A notation in the report from FRMC Legal on the survey said, "...this is a terrific result and one of which the firm should be justly proud..." "Overall, the survey activity included a measure of our efficiency", said Mr Graeme Hollidge, Managing Partner of Scammell & Co. Mr Hollidge went on to say that efficiency translates to a number of issues, "For clients, it means that they can expect prompt processing of their requirements ... and that translates to time efficiencies and sensible charges for the services provided ... the sort of charges that contribute to the on-going relationship with clients."
