Bailwick Legal is still with you, for you. We are back to work as usual now that COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed. We are all back on board working out of our office in West Perth, being careful to upkeep sanitising and safety practices.
Departure of Karolina Rzymkowska - We would like to announce that Karolina has resigned from Bailiwick Legal. Rest assured that matters that were under Karolina's supervision have been handed over to other members of our team with appropriate expertise, and we will continue to look after you to ensure your requirements are met. We wish her the best and the Bailiwick Legal team looks forward to helping you with your matters in her stead.
We would love to hear from you, particularly if you have any feedback about how we can do better. Feel free to email us any time at admin@bailiwicklegal.com.au or if we have impressed you, give us a Google Review! |
