News & Events
This month we are celebrating Bailiwick's 8th birthday and I want to thank you for being part of our journey thus far. We have had our ups and downs over the years but as we near a decade I can confirm that the highs outweigh the lows.
When I wrote last, the team was getting ready to go out on the road as we commenced our Regional Hot Desks across WA. The team, in between Covid outbreaks, has been regularly popping into Beverley, Cunderdin, Merredin, Moora, Northam, and York and will continue to do so as it has proved very popular. To find out when we are in a town near you click here, otherwise if you would like us to visit your town please reach out to us.
Next month we will join the team at WAFarmers and head to Dowerin for the GWN7 Machinery Field Days. Please come in to chat with one of the team members or share a beer at the sundowner.
Thank you

WA Shearing Industry Association General Meeting 21 January 2023
On 21 January 2023 Phil, Anna and Matilda attended the WA Shearing Industry Association General Meeting. Phil along with representatives from the industry delivered presentations on training programs, Work Health and Safety laws, and the basics of contractual agreements between growers and contractors and contractors and their employees.
The General Meeting provided us with an opportunity to hear about the current challenges in industry that contractors are facing. We were also introduced to the technological advancements within the industry, including the introduction of eBale, which is a technology that allows contractors and growers to identify and trace the origins of the bales of wool via a QR Code that is printed on wool bale labels.

WITH WA Annual General Meeting
On 8 February, Anna and our new team member Melissa Catto attended the Women in Hospitality and Tourism WA (WITH WA) Annual General Meeting. It was a great occasion that highlighted the fabulous meetings and events that WITH WA organised for their members in 2022 – all of which Bailiwick Legal was pleased to have been a part of. The meeting was also an opportunity to farewell the Founder and Chairperson of WITH WA, Margaret Wilson, officially stepping down from the position she has held since the association was formed back in 2019. Bailiwick Legal looks forward to continuing our support of WITH WA and their exciting Mentoring Insights Circle commencing in March.
