Subscriber only The Queensland Law Society has seized control of the trust account overseen by embattled Brisbane lawyer Michael Kemp. A spokesperson for the peak body, headed by Elizabeth Shearer (illustrated), declined to comment on Thursday. But multiple sources have confirmed to City Beat the dramatic intervention to oversee the disbursement of funds. It s understood that none of the client money has been adversely impacted.
