The Wollongong chapter of Women Lawyers’ Association of NSW, with  generous sponsorship from Shine Lawyers, and in conjunction with the University of Wollongong School of Law, would like to invite all LAWYERS (male, female, private practice, in-house, at the bar, academic…) and LAW STUDENTS to a FREE event to celebrate Law Week.

This event is an opportunity to chat in short timed sessions in a relaxed setting.
It presents a great chance for law students to practice their networking skills, while members of the profession can get in touch with the next generation of lawyers – as well as (overdue) catch ups with colleagues and friends. Book early as numbers are limited!

Join us in representing women lawyers and the wider profession, as we have for almost 70 years. We will continue to provide leadership in matters affecting women and the legal profession, by driving and advocating for change.
