Chief Morale Officer & Professional Kelpie/Collie

Will respond to whistles
Gino

Gino (frequently referred to by his alias, Jean) is the firm’s resident Kelpie-Border Collie cross. While he isn’t exactly in charge of any legal files, he is the undisputed master of managing office morale and ensuring no fallen crumb goes to waste.

Specialised Office Expertise

While the lawyers focus on property law and litigation, Gino has developed a very specific set of skills suited to a high-energy working dog:

Crumb Disposal Services

Gino provides an essential, lightning-fast cleanup service for any food-related accidents. He is particularly efficient at clearing debris near the kitchen area and under desks during lunch breaks.

Pat-to-Play Compliance

Gino strictly enforces the firm’s policy that all staff and visitors must provide at least three high-quality ear scratches before any legal work can commence.

Perimeter Security (Avian Division)

A true working dog at heart, Gino maintains a zero-tolerance policy for any birds attempting to loiter near the office windows. His “stare-down” technique is legendary.

Professional Background

  • 7+ years of professional experience in being a “Good Boy”
  • Lead Negotiator for the “Second Dinner” campaign
  • Kelpie-Collie heritage, ensuring he is 100% focused on his “flock” (the solicitors)
  • Certified by The Pantry Institute in Tactical Snack Extraction

Team Contribution

Gino provides a vital calming presence during intense workdays. Whether he’s snoozing under a desk or leaning against your legs for a quick pat, he ensures the office remains a friendly and productive environment. He is especially skilled at sensing when someone needs a five-minute break for a game of fetch.

Outside the Office

When Gino isn’t patrolling the hallways, he enjoys:

  • 🎾 Professional Ball Retrieval – Utilizing his working dog heritage to never, ever get tired of a tennis ball.
  • 🌳 Botanical Exploration – Patrolling the local park with high-energy Border Collie focus.
  • 💤 Nap Optimization – Finding the precise spot where the sun hits the carpet at 2 PM.

Gino is always happy to meet new clients, provided they have a reasonably soft set of hands for patting.
