Over 250 in-house professionals will come together to hear from Australia’s leading legal minds at the Corporate Counsel Summit 2025.
With the country’s top regulatory bodies taking a more active approach, and emerging technologies and workplace evolutions challenging traditional business models, the role of the law department has never been more diverse or important, with businesses leaning on in-house teams to navigate such voluminous change.
In such times, the Corporate Counsel Summit is a premier one-day forum offering Australia’s in-house counsel practical tools and strategies to achieve success in their careers and businesses.
Returning on Thursday, 8 May 2025, at The Star in Sydney, this unparalleled leadership forum is set to propel Australia’s in-house community to unrivalled opportunities.
