Community

The community values and family-based principles of E.R. Stack, who founded Stacks/The Law Firm in 1931, endure today. We want to do more than just provide legal services to clients. Individual Stacks the Law Firm offices, and a number of lawyers in the group, are involved in their local communities, providing education sponsorships, pro bono work, supporting fundraising projects, and volunteering their time for various local initiatives. Made up of friendly and approachable people from country origins, we believe in getting involved.

Maurie Stack was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for services to the legal profession in 2003.
Tom Goudkamp of Stacks/Goudkamp was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in 2005 for services to injured people and the legal profession.
Tim Stack received an Order of Australia medal in 2002 for service to the community of Taree, particularly through his voluntary Eisteddford work.
