The Brisbane legal profession united once again at the fourth annual Law & Wine Dinner, raising $38,410 for LifeFlight. Held at the W Hotel in Brisbane and hosted by leading Queensland compensation law firm, Travis Schultz & Partners (TSP), the event brought together 270 guests to support LifeFlight’s critical offshore search and rescue missions.
The evening featured a three-course meal paired with premium wines from the Australian family-owned Sanguine Estate Wines, with winemaker Mark Hunter sharing insights into the selections. Guests enjoyed the night’s festivities, led by MC and journalist Elizabeth Tilley, with guest appearances by cricket legends Andrew “Bic” Bichel, Darren “Boof” Lehmann, Ian “Heals” Healy, and renowned poet Rupert McCall.
Fundraising efforts were bolstered by a dynamic live auction, filled with exclusive experiences, made possible through the generous support of sponsors.
