Membership of the Disability Law Committee of the LIV has been a great source of connection with a broad cross-section of practitioners working in this space. The depth of knowledge and diversity of perspectives within the Disability, Elder and Health Law Committee not only enhances our individual practice but also contributes to law reform and benefits the broader community.

The Young Lawyers Committee has provided me with opportunities to grow as I transitioned from law school to practising as a lawyer. As Vice President of the Committee, I encourage all early-career lawyers to take advantage of the network and resources the LIV offers.

“I’ve been involved with the LIV for many years. The institute supported me in my growth as a junior lawyer and is still very relevant to me now as a senior practitioner and accredited specialist. I’d encourage all Victorian lawyers to take advantage of the services offered by the institute and to get involved”

Through its various committees and CPD events, the LIV plays an instrumental role in the professional growth of Lawyers in Victoria. As a law firm owner, I have always felt supported by the LIV. I have utilised its facilities for conferences, called on its committees for advice and represent the LIV as a trustee of the Law Aid.
