We would like to help you get to know us a little better by introducing members of our team. This month we introduce Evelyn Ho, our Office Administrator.
Evelyn started at Bailiwick Legal in May 2017 after leaving the Tertiary Education sector and has never looked back since. Her role at Bailiwick is a mix of a bit of everything from receptionist to office administration to paralegal work. She recently attended the College of Law Western Australian Legal Practice Management course.
"I have gained a greater insight into the essentials of running a law practice from the LPM course. I am excited to be here and look forward to learning and growing with the Bailiwick Legal team." |
