Dear Members & Colleagues,

I am delighted to introduce our new Gold Sponsor, Australian Executor Trustees (AET) who provide a comprehensive range of investment management, estate planning and administration, superannuation, accountancy and trustee services as noted below. You will be hearing more from AET and the range of services they have to assist you.

The Committee have been working on a range of issues, programs and events that we are pleased to host. We look forward to seeing our members at our annual ‘Law as a Career-Coming to the Bar’ 15th May at Martin Place Chambers with the Honourable Justice Margaret Beazley AO of the Supreme Court of NSW, Sandra Duggan SC, and Suanne Russell, Counsel, Business and Commercial Lending, Westpac. We are also co-hosting the biennial ‘Janet Coombs Lunch for New Female Barristers’ on 18 May with the Women Barristers Forum. On 9 May 2012 the Law Society has kindly offered to host a special book launch event with Women’s Legal Services and visiting Timorese authors. We also encourage members to attend and support the Macquarie University’s annual Women, Management & Work Conference 12-13 July 2012. Please see below for further details and further events and services that may be of interest.

A reminder to 'Save the date' for our biennial signature event “Celebrating Women in the Judiciary” to be held at the University, Union and Schools Club 18th July, and to book early for the Australian Women Lawyers 4th National Conference to be held in Canberra 10-12 August 2012 whilst places are still available.
