Rocks, Pebbles and Sand – A Carew Counsel Philosophy
We believe in looking deep into our business and reflecting on new and innovative
ways to deal with and confront issues. At a recent Law Australasia conference, Geoff
O’Driscoll, managing partner of Rees R and Sydney Jones, a large legal practice
in Rockhampton, came up with an innovative way of dealing with difficult files.
He named the process “Rocks Pebbles and Sand”. It was such a good idea that we came
back from the conference, adopted the philosophy and now enjoy its benefits on a
day to day basis. The painting (pictured above) by Rachel Carew is featured in the
foyer of our office as a daily reminder to every member of our team that this is
how we process our work.

Carew Counsel became involved with the Signature of M event this year to acknowledge
the need for the development of young artists of Victoria and to make a contribution
to the homeless of Melbourne. Cities have long inspired artists. Urban subjects
and artistic fascination with the urbane can be traced back to early Modernity in
the Western civilization. The Signature of M event is a project that explores and
summarizes perspectives and emotional values, as well as defining the architectural,
cultural and the commercial landscape that shapes this unique city of Melbourne
in today’s times through art.
