Legal Laneway Breakfast

Join some of Victoria’s key legal minds and meet with people from across the sector.

We begin the legal year with a legal sector breakfast. This much anticipated annual event marks the beginning of the legal year and draws a diverse crowd of drawn from members of the profession.

With keynote speakers providing valuable insights, join us over coffee and breakfast canapés to reconnect after the break and look forward to the year to come.

Originally hosted in Melbourne’s iconic Hardware Lane, the Legal Laneway Breakfast will run in Melbourne's CBD, Ballarat, Horsham and Shepparton. With more events each year, these breakfasts are becoming a state-wide occasion to celebrate the start of the legal year.

The Legal Laneway Breakfast is open to all members of Victoria’s legal community, with breakfast provided by local restaurants.
