MEET THE SPEAKER
LINDEN BARNES
SENIOR ETHICS SOLICITOR
THE LAW SOCIETY OF NSW
With 15 years of dedicated service as an ethics solicitor at the Law Society of NSW, Linden responds to countless queries from solicitors statewide, offering guidance on critical issues such as conflict of interest, confidentiality, and the fundamental duty owed to the courts. Linden also regularly presents at seminars, guiding practitioners through real-world ethical challenges.
Before joining the Law Society, Linden honed her legal expertise in-house within major financial institutions after beginning her career in insurance litigation. This rich blend of in-house and regulatory experience provides her with a uniquely practical perspective—whether advising on everyday practice issues or navigating the complexities of regulatory oversight.
She brings her presentations to life with clear, real-world examples and engaging delivery, helping practitioners to enhance their ethical acumen and professional integrity.
