In the evolving landscape of the Public Sector, legal officers are typically called on for advice and direction, and as such, require continual upkeep of knowledge and development of skills in order to be professionally successful while supporting their agencies’ mission.

Case studies from significant public agencies will offer relevant practical value while expert commentaries will provide perspectives on evolving directions and the emerging responsibilities of a government lawyer.

Over the course of two days, issues encompassing ethical challenges, reform initiatives, statutory interpretation, human rights, working across agencies and jurisdictions, risk management and many more will be explored with genuine examples and thoughtful reflections offered through interactive participation and discussion.

This event is a must for all Public Sector legal professionals wishing to perform their duties with eyes wide open in a knowledge-driven role.
