Southern Region/Bayside Pop-up ACC Drinks

We miss you! We know that many of you aren’t back in the city, so we thought we’d come to you instead.  

As part of our series of small, casual, COVID-safe, neighbourhood catch-ups across Melbourne (and beyond) in the coming weeks, and the next in Brighton on Wednesday 17 March.  Come over for a hump day drink and chat, we’d love to see you.

The event is free for ACC members (drinks are self-funded) but we do ask that you register as it is a venue requirement, and numbers are capped. If Brighton is a bit of a hike from your home base, keep a look out in this What’s Happening newsletter as we have future pop-up events planned around Melbourne.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: DATE & FORMAT CHANGE

ACC Australia, in consultation with the ACC Australia Victoria Committee and other key stakeholders, has made the difficult decision to defer the Victorian In-House Counsel Day to Wednesday July 28, and to make it a completely virtual format.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this decision may cause. 

For those that had already registered for the event and haven't received an email from the events team please contact ausevents@accglobal.com. 

Registrations for the new date will reopen in the coming days with the program currently being confirmed. 

If 2020 was known as the year where there was no business as usual, where legal teams were forced to rethink and retool, then let’s decide now that 2021 will be known as the year to reconnect, reimagine and realign. 

Your 2021 In-House Counsel Day program centres around topics and a networking space that provide opportunities to:

• reconnect with your in-house colleagues and industry peers
• reimagine legal practices in the new normal and,
• realign with your company and personal goals. 

In 2021, reposition yourself as an in-house lawyer of influence by learning more about crisis and stakeholder management, legal operations, how to add value to commercial conversations and much, much more. 

The 2021 In-House Counsel Day promises to have something for everyone. Plenary sessions with industry experts, smaller break-out sessions catering to specialist interest groups such as Chief Legal Officers, New to In-house and those who are Sole Legal Officers.  You will hear from in-house peers who will share their career experiences. You will be offered practical content to take back to your workplace and put into action. Remember, the conference program is developed by in-house lawyers for in-house lawyers. 

The Victorian chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) Australia has a proud history of providing quality conference days for the in-house legal profession, and our 2021 conference will be no different.

Early Bird closes 6pm Friday May 7 with group rates available.
