Mr Armstrong has spent the last ten years as a sole practitioner in the Brisbane area, and before that provided wills and estates services to a number of law firms.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr Armstrong is confident he can help Bennett & Philp maintain their already high level of client satisfaction, calling himself a “good fit” with the firm.

“As a lawyer it has always been very important to me that I provide a high-level personal service to all my clients and this is something the firm also prides itself on,” he said.

“As more and more services are provided on-line I think many professions and organisations are losing that essential personal contact with their clients. It may be old fashioned, but I am convinced that clients still prefer a face-to-face personal service.”
