Members Meet-Up: End of Year Party

Join us for an evening of connection and celebration at Blackbird Cocktail Bar*, located in the heart of the city on Alinga Street. This relaxed cocktail-style event offers a great opportunity to catch up with colleagues, expand your professional network, and mark the end of another year alongside members of the profession at all stages of their careers.

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, Elliott Gray, Nexia Australia and SPA Australia, tickets have been significantly subsidised, making this event exceptional value. We encourage you to book early, as places are limited and demand is expected to be high.

We are also pleased to offer a limited number of reduced-price tickets for new lawyers in their first five years of practice, available for just $35.

Whether you're reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting new colleagues, we look forward to celebrating the year with you.
