There goes another one -- RIM announced today that Chief Legal Officer Karima Bawa will soon be leaving the company. This is RIM's second major departure in as many weeks, with RIM sales head Patrick Spence leaving the ailing smartphone maker last Wednesday. At the time, sources pointed to audio electronics company Sonos as his likely landing spot, though neither Spence nor Sonos have officially commented on the situation. Unlike Spence, who reportedly jumped ship after being passed over for the company's vacant COO spot (Sony Mobile EVP Kristian Tear eventually got the job), Bawa's situation seems much less contentious. After spending nearly twelve years with the company (two of which were in her current spot), she's finally looking to retire.
