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 in Melbourne’s iconic Hardware Lane.
The Legal Laneway Breakfast is open to all members of Victoria’s legal community, with breakfast provided by local restaurants.
In 2024, the Legal Laneway Breakfast was held in both Melbourne's CBD, and in Ballarat. Read about these events below, and register now for the 2025 Legal Laneway Breakfast in Melbourne, Ballarat, and for the first time, Morwell.
