10.01.2022 Sign of the times! A few of the PB crew had fun cheering on our MD Mellissa Larkin at the virtual 2020 #AustralianLawAwards, where she was a finalist in two categories: Innovator and Managing Partner of the Year.

Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners and well done to Lawyers Weekly for hosting a great event in unusual circumstances #Auslaw #LawyersWeekly #Innovation #ManagingPartner #NewLaw #LawFirm
