Lawyers from across Canberra gathered for the ACT Law Society’s Government Law Drinks on 7 November, hosted by Meyer Vandenberg.
The quarterly gathering is a welcome opportunity for lawyers to expand their networks and meet key people in the ACT. The guest speaker for the Spring event was Department of Health General Counsel Jackie Davis. Ms Davis spoke on leadership and influence.

“Whether you are, or aspire to be a leader in the traditional sense, want to grow your legal practice, or simply be a good lawyer in whom clients have confidence, leadership skills are essential,” Ms Davis advised.
She explored the difference between being a good and a bad leader, and why it is important to endeavour to be a good leader even if both types have influence.
