30 Years with Libby!

The team at Equilaw would like to congratulate Elizabeth (Libby) Bartholomew on celebrating her 30th anniversary with our firm.

Libby joined our team in May 1996 as a casual legal secretary at Halletts Solicitors, and it wasn’t long before she became a full-time member of the team. Prior to moving to Muswellbrook, Libby worked as a legal secretary at Avern McIntyre in Inverell. Her experience in legal administration quickly proved to be an asset to the firm, and we soon recognised the valuable skills she brought to our workplace.

Over the past three decades, Libby has dedicated her career to the legal industry—an incredible achievement. When Libby first began working in law, she was highly skilled in shorthand and used a typewriter to prepare legal documents. We can only imagine how challenging it must have been to amend lengthy legal documents using a typewriter!

Throughout her time with the firm, Libby has worked alongside numerous solicitors and partners. She has also played an important role in supervising and training new staff members. Libby was part of the firm during the transition from Halletts Solicitors to Equilaw and assisted with the move from ‘Loxton House’ on Bridge Street to our current office at ‘Market House’ on Market Street.

Libby’s extensive knowledge, dedication, and friendly personality make her an invaluable member of our team.

We are grateful to have Libby as part of the Equilaw team and look forward to continuing to work together for many years to come. Thank you, Libby, for your dedication to our firm and to the legal industry. Your contribution is truly appreciated.

Here’s to Libby!
