The Junior Legal Mixer

About the Event 

Looking to expand your social circle within the legal community?

Sick of forming short-term and casual connections in professional networking events? 

Join us at The Junior Legal Mixer, an engaging social hour designed for junior lawyers and recent law graduates to connect and build lasting friendships.

With an intimate group of 5 to 15 legal eagles, the night runs from 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm and is guided by Jennie. This small-scale gathering ensures you can form genuine bonds over mouthwatering food and drinks.

Many legal professionals become socially disconnected with their peers after finishing law school or once they start working full-time (even as a paralegal). The profession is notorious for its commitment for long hours and many tend to lose themselves overtime. The solution for many of us to reconnect or maintain a social life, is by attending networking events but there is always a sense of extreme formality for a connection we may forget in the next hour. The system always starts with "what do you do?" or "what do you practice in?" and ends with "Let's connect on Linkedin." But that's where the connection ends, and eventually the memory of ever meeting or speaking with that 'Connection' fades. 

The Junior Legal Mixer is aimed at bringing in like-minded legal professionals and fostering long-lasting friendships - More than a Linkedin Connection. 

What You’ll Gain:

• Delicious unlimited food 
• Your first drink to start the night 
• Authentic connections with peers
• A relaxed environment to socialize
• Opportunities for meaningful conversations
• An Instagram group of attendees to have each other's contact

Who is this for:

This event is for young legal professionals (5 PQE and under) and law graduates who are interested in making friends in law.

About the Host

My name is Jennie and I'm a Corporate Lawyer based in Sydney. After graduating, I found it difficult to stay connected with my law school friends due to everyone's hectic schedules. Despite attending numerous networking events to make more friends, I often found the atmosphere too professional and formal. However, I’ve still met many wonderful people in the industry who have become some of my closest friends, and I realized many share the same sense of disconnection. I’m organizing this event for those who, like me, are looking to form genuine friendships beyond LinkedIn connections. If this resonates with you, sign up today!
