The National Golden Gavel Final is being held in Sydney! And it’s on a boat! For the first time in 8 years, NSW Young Lawyers will be hosting the 2017 National Golden Gavel Competition Final and, you heard right, it’s on a BOAT! Come along for a hysterical night on the water, while enjoying the spectacular backdrop of Sydney Harbour. The highly anticipated and outrageously funny event will showcase the Golden Gavel finalists from each state, battling it out for the national title. Each contestant only has 24 hours to prepare, so get ready to be entertained by the quick wit and humour of some of Australia’s top young lawyers at a night of intense rivalry! Special guest Master of Ceremonies and world-renowned comedian, James Smith, will be hosting the evening! James is an Australian born, New York-based, former Banking and Finance Lawyer, who is all too familiar with the Gavel experience. He has appeared on Conan, The Project and was hand-picked to open for Chris Rock on his recent tour. Australian Lawyers Conference If you’re looking to mix work and play why not find out more about the Australian Lawyers’ Conference held earlier in the day and snap up some early CPD points before the National Golden Gavels! The only Conference of its kind for lawyers in Australia, it’s a fantastic opportunity to build networks and hear from a series of brilliant speakers all in one, action-packed day. Conference and package single tickets also available. |
