CareerCon Step Into Tomorrow

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ROBOT IN THE ROOM.

Two live conversations about starting your legal career in a profession that's changing.

  • Date:  15 & 17 September 2026
  • Free + online
  • Join us live or catch the recordings later

YOUR CAREER PROBABLY WON'T GO EXACTLY TO PLAN.

 

And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

AI is changing how legal work gets done. Career paths are becoming less linear. And the profession you enter may look pretty different from the one you imagined when you started law school.

CareerCon brings together two conversations about what that means for you.

 

TWO LIVE WEBINARS.

JOIN ONE OR BOTH.

SESSIONS

 

Will AI Take My Job?

TUESDAY 15 SEPTEMBER · 12:30PM AEST

Depending on who you ask, AI is either replacing lawyers or saving them.

We’ll unpack what’s hype, what’s reality, how legal work is changing, and what opportunities may emerge for the next generation of lawyers.

What Nobody Tells You About Modern Legal Careers

THURSDAY 17 SEPTEMBER · 12:00PM AEST

Legal careers don’t always follow a straight line.

Hear from lawyers who have taken different paths as they share what they’ve learned about building a career in law – and what they wish they’d known when they were starting out.
