Honouring Excellence in the Legal Profession: Queensland Law Society President’s Medal

Friday, January 19, 2024

The Queensland Law Society (QLS) President’s Medal holds significant prestige within the legal profession as it recognises exceptional solicitors who have made remarkable contributions to their field and the community. Last year, the Director of Page Provan, Stephen Page, was bestowed with this esteemed award, which is carefully judged on service to the community, legal competence, and personal integrity. Receiving the Society’s highest accolade was an extraordinary experience for Stephen, as it involved meeting the exacting standards set by five former Presidents of the QLS. The recognition he received in front of approximately 300 colleagues at the ceremony was truly humbling and moving.

The President’s Medal aims to acknowledge practitioners who have distinguished themselves and made outstanding contributions to the legal profession in Queensland. It celebrates individuals who have displayed leadership, integrity, and commitment throughout their careers, both professionally and personally. Stephen Page, having been internationally recognized as a leading surrogacy lawyer from his small firm in Brisbane, emphasizes that deserving recipients can come from firms of any size. He encourages colleagues to nominate those who are making a difference by changing laws or positively impacting people’s lives. This unique award sets itself apart by honoring only one exceptional solicitor, making it a highly exclusive recognition within the legal community.

Nominations for the 2024 President’s Medal are now open until February 23, 2024, and only peer nominations are accepted. The recipient of this prestigious award will be presented with the President’s Medal at the Legal Profession Dinner in March. Let us come together as a profession to celebrate excellence and honor those who have left a lasting impact on the practice of law. By recognizing outstanding achievements, we inspire and encourage others to continually strive for greatness within the legal field.

Surrogacy in Kyrgyzstan: The New Frontier or a Legal Minefield?

Surrogacy in Kyrgyzstan is suddenly attracting attention, particularly among intended parents looking for countries that appear more open than the usual destinations. On paper, the change is striking. In 2024, Kyrgyzstan introduced laws allowing surrogacy and, unlike some neighbouring former Soviet states, it appears to permit a much broader group of intended parents to access… Read More »Surrogacy in Kyrgyzstan: The New Frontier or a Legal Minefield?

The End of International Surrogacy in Kenya? What Australians Need to Know

Surrogacy in Kenya has long sat in an uneasy space. It has been available, it has been used by some foreign intended parents, and yet it has operated in a legal environment that is largely unregulated. For Australians, that combination should always have rung alarm bells. The numbers alone tell part of the story. Very… Read More »The End of International Surrogacy in Kenya?
