1. From Surviving to Thriving: transitioning to legal practice<\/h2>\n
Date:<\/strong> Monday 18 May<\/div>\n
Time:<\/strong> 1.00pm – 2.00pm (Audience Q&A to follow presentation)<\/div>\n
Online event:\u00a0<\/strong>Register here<\/a><\/div>\n

The prospect of transition from law school to legal practice can be quite daunting.<\/p>\n

In one key respect, there is a reversal: at law school, you pay to attend. In legal practice, you need to convince others that your command of the law – and ability to harness that for the benefit of clients – warrants your being paid.<\/p>\n

Last September, Bob Santamaria retired from over 40 years in practice, including 20 years as a partner with Allens and 12 years as the ANZ Group General Counsel.<\/p>\n

He still vividly recalls how, as he left law school, he lacked any confidence that he could survive as a practising lawyer, let alone thrive in that role.<\/p>\n

Join Bob as he takes your questions and shares with you his experience in practice, the ways in which he sought to survive, and how he managed to transition from surviving to thriving in practice.<\/p>\n
