A Legacy of Dedication: Tony Black Retires After 50 Years of Exemplary Service
We wish to announce that our Special Counsel, Tony Black, has retired from practice after a long standing career as a solicitor spanning 50 years.
Tony was the Principal of Anthony Black Family Law from its inception in September 2006.
Simone Barbour became the legal owner of the practice in April 2019. Prior to taking over the business Simone was employed by Tony and they worked together for almost 19 years.
Tony was a well-respected solicitor, a wonderful boss and a brilliant mentor. While no longer wearing the ‘boss’ hat, he continued to mentor with a calm and wise presence in the office to all our staff up until January 2024.
The firm would like to thank Tony for all he has done to build the practice based off his integrity, decency, knowledge and hard work and for all he has done in regard to support and guidance.
Imparting his years of knowledge to us has been paramount and will be utilised for the benefit of our clients now and in the years to come.
