We admit, this is shameless self-congratulation, but we figure you'll be happy for us too.

To celebrate turning 10, the whole Marque team headed for the physical and spiritual centre of Australia – Uluru – for a few days of cultural and physical renewal. It seemed the obvious way to celebrate our birthday and the epic (well, we think it is) achievement of getting to 10 years since we launched the social experiment called Marque.

Here are just a few of the things we have done in our first ten years.

• We turfed out time-costing and it led us to happier clients, happier lawyers, and - shock horror - a sustainable business model.
• We have hired a heap more girls than boys. As of right now we are 75% female.
• We ran a campaign for marriage equality.
• We made 21 babies! And everyone came back to work (including, on occasions, the babies).
• We have been named top lawyers in the AFR Best Lawyers list and Doyle's Guide and Asia Pacific Legal 500 and even Chambers Global.
• We won Roll On Friday's firm of the year – repeatedly.
• Our lunchtime netball team won 7 premierships and single-handedly delayed the closing of Martin Place Bar by at least 6 months* (*unverified).

Since you're a friend of our firm, we'd like to say thank you for your support and for being part of the extended Marque family. It's been quite a ride. Here's to whatever comes next!

Cheers
The Marque Squad
