About this Event
Looking to expand your social circle within the legal community?
Sick of forming short-term and casual connections at professional networking events?
Join us at The Legal Mixer, an engaging social hour designed for lawyers and recent law graduates to connect and build lasting friendships.
Many legal professionals become socially disconnected with their peers after finishing law school or once they start working full-time (even as a paralegal). The profession is notorious for its commitment for long hours and many tend to lose themselves overtime. The solution for many of us to reconnect or maintain a social life, is by attending networking events but there is always a sense of extreme formality for a connection we may forget in the next hour. The system always starts with "what do you do?" or "what do you practice in?" and ends with "Let's connect on Linkedin." But that's where the connection ends, and eventually the memory of ever meeting or speaking with that 'Connection' fades.
The Legal Mixer is aimed at bringing in like-minded legal professionals and fostering long-lasting friendships - More than a Linkedin Connection.
What You’ll Gain:
- Authentic connection with peers in a casual environment (no chairs and seminars!)
- Opportunities for meaningful conversations
- Connect with like-minded individuals
- Join an Instagram social group chat (if you wish to provide your username)
Who is this for:
This event is for legal professionals: solicitors, barristers, law graduates, or anyone in the legal industry interested in making friends in law. If you have 30 minutes to spare during lunch, come join us! Feel free to stay for longer if you have the luxury of time.
About the Host
My name is Jennie and I'm a Corporate Lawyer based in Sydney. After graduating, I found it difficult to stay connected with my law school friends due to everyone's hectic schedules. Despite attending numerous networking events to make more friends, I often found the atmosphere too professional and formal. However, I’ve still met many wonderful people in the industry who have become some of my closest friends, and I realized many share the same sense of disconnection. I’m organizing this event for those who, like me, are looking to form genuine friendships beyond LinkedIn connections. As featured on Lawyers Weekly. Read Lawyers Weekly.
