ACC Australia is now inviting outstanding in-house counsel to nominate for the 2021 Australian Corporate Lawyer Awards. These prestigious awards recognise leadership, excellence in the provision of legal services and the contribution made by in-house lawyers whether in corporate, NFP or government legal departments. And, as the awards are judged by in-house lawyers, those short-listed and the winners, have the honour of being recognised by their peers as excelling in their field.
This year we welcome the return of the Awards dinner to the 2021 In-house Legal National Conference, which will be taking place in Canberra from 7-9 November.
The past 16 months have been filled with Zoom meetings, webinars and virtual events – which have been a fantastic substitute for in-person events during this uncertain and tough period – however having the chance to bring our members together to present the winners of the 2021 Australia Corporate Lawyer Awards is truly exciting. The Awards dinner also provides the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the whole in-house profession – which have been great and many – over the past year and a bit.
So, get prepared to fold away the lounge wear and dig out your finest for an evening of glitz and glamour this November! To check out the video of the 2019 Awards dinner, click here.
