About the Forum

Lawyers Weekly’s annual Women in Law Forum is back for its third instalment, as the brand continues to champion and support the largest demographic of Australia’s legal profession.

Join us for another exceptional event, designed to both honour the women reshaping the legal landscape and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future for those coming through the ranks.

Meaningful progress has been achieved, in recent years, towards equity in Australia’s legal profession, However, the recent unveiling of gender pay gap data in big corporates across the country, and the escalating rates of fatal male violence against women, are reminders of just how far we have to go in our workplaces and our justice system.

The Women in Law Forum offers a space in which to be inspired by distinguished legal professionals, fierce advocates and passionate activists, as they delve into the unresolved inequities that still linger in professional services and beyond.

Don’t miss your opportunity to connect with a dynamic and diverse community of like-minded professionals, all united in their commitment to driving positive change for women in law and beyond. Together, we will forge a path towards better support systems, effective allyship, and improved working environments for the next generation.

Join us at the Women in Law Forum 2024 and become part of the unstoppable movement reshaping the Australian legal profession.
