Submissions close Monday, 13 January for the most sought-after awards in the corporate legal industry – this year's Corporate Counsel Awards are an opportunity for Australia's defence industry to recognise the efforts of their legal teams.
Setting the benchmark for professional development, achievement and networking, the Lawyers Weekly Corporate Counsel Summit and Awards will be held on Friday, 20 March 2020 at the Hyatt Regency in Sydney’s CBD.
Editor of Defence Connect's sister publication Lawyers Weekly, Emma Ryan, said, "The Corporate Counsel Awards is the pinnacle event for Australian in-house lawyers and legal teams."
Providing a wealth of experience and practical tips to help drive success in a changing legal landscape, the second ever Corporate Counsel Summit hosted by Lawyers Weekly promises to be an immersive full-day conference that brings together leading disruptive, digital and transformative in-house legal leaders from global brands.
"With such strong competition among them, the awards recognise individual and group achievements for counsel going above and beyond for their respective businesses," Ryan added.
Attendees will hear from some of the most forward-thinking speakers in one room for an action-packed day of learning, discovering and developing – at which CPD points will be available – making it a fantastic opportunity to help you provide top-quality legal services in a way that maximises value across your business that will shape 2020 and beyond.
"We're delighted to be hosting the event for the fifth consecutive year, celebrating the contributions the in-house community is making to the wider business of law," Ryan said.
In the evening, the venue will transform into the fourth annual Corporate Counsel Awards, providing a unique opportunity to celebrate with the top-performing in-house lawyers at a national level. The awards will be hosted as a sit-down dinner and will include networking drinks after the conclusion of the summit.
This year’s black-tie event will be held on Friday, 20 March at Hyatt Regency Sydney, 161 Sussex St, Sydney, from 7:00pm.
