	Welcome to our April newsletter. Some wickedness resides herein; read on. Last month we celebrated with the best of business at the AIM WA Pinnacle Awards. We’re so pleased that the Kott Gunning Lawyers Emerging Business Excellence Award went to local startup Appbot, whose software is used by thousands of companies to improve customer experience. That’s something Kott Gunning is passionate about and we look forward to watching the progress of this WA success story. Congratulations also to new Fremantle business Cool Beans Campers. Their very “cool” handmade custom campers won them the Kott Gunning New Product Award at the Perth Caravan and Camping Show. Back by popular demand this month is another practical Will and Estate Planning seminar by Claire Hawke-Gundill. You, your family and friends are all invited to take up our special centenary will offer.
