1. LSS Expert Panel – Litigation & Dispute Resolution
With clerkship applications around the corner, this is an opportunity to hear first-hand from partners about Litigation and Dispute Resolution.
The interactive panel will allow you to ask partners and graduates about their work and also gain insight into the inner workings of individual firms, with networking opportunities to follow the panel presentations.
In a first for the LSS, we are excited to announce that one of the panels will be a sit-down breakfast held at Eureka 89, allowing you time to mingle with firm representatives in a casual and intimate manner, while taking in the views of the Melbourne skyline over a hot breakfast.
This panel will be ticketed at a price of $20 per person.
