Congratulations to Leila Bunguric (2014) who was admitted as a Lawyer earlier this year. Special mention to our Chairman of the Foundation, Mr Marty Perry who moved Leila into practice, and his wife, Grace Perry, who has been an incredible support to Leila during her time at their firm BCP Lawyers.
