Staff from the national firm donned dresses, colourful socks and ties as part of the fundraiser. Total monies raised were collected from a series of themed morning teas and raffle draws.
Holding Redlich’s first year lawyers also organised a bidding war over designer dresses, conducted via silent auction.
Partner Bree Knoester oversaw the firm’s Frocktober activities said she was thrilled by commitment the firm to the cause.
“Several staff members have seen the impact ovarian cancer has had on their friends or family members,” Ms Knoester said.
“We were eager to help support the wonderful research efforts that are underway via a concerted month-long fundraising effort.”
