INTO THE LEGAL WORLD - LESSONS FROM LAW FOR PROFESSIONAL LIFE What can the way lawyers work teach us about our own professional lives? The legal profession develops particular ways of working that can be useful far beyond the law. Lawyers encounter these approaches every day, yet they are rarely presented as professional development for people outside the industry. Into the Legal World brings these lessons into a broader professional setting, using real experiences from legal practice to explore ideas that apply across different careers and industries. The session offers a different perspective on how we work, respond to challenges and develop as professionals.   WHO IS IT FOR? For professionals who want to handle pressure, think clearly, build trust and keep growing. Whether you are starting your career, building experience, stepping into leadership or looking for your next challenge, this session gives you a different way to look at professional life.   ABOUT THE FACILITATOR Marie Russo is General Legal Counsel and Company Secretary of JCI Australia and a NSW-admitted lawyer. Her experience spans LegalTech, not-for-profit organisations, private practice, in-house legal and academia. Her leadership in the legal profession has included multiple executive roles across professional and student organisations, notably NSW Young Lawyers, the Australian Law Students’ Association and UOW Law Students’ Society. Her legal practice has evolved over time and includes matters such as administrative law disputes, courtroom advocacy and commercial drafting and negotiation for large-scale supplier relationships.
