Melbourne is often referred to as the sporting capital of Australia, and with a number of major sporting events taking place in our city every year, it's not hard to see why!
The Melbourne Sports Law Association (‘MSLA’) is thrilled to announce a very special panel event on ‘Law and Major Sporting Events in Melbourne’!
This event will feature a panel of prominent legal professionals who work in the sporting organisations responsible for Melbourne’s largest sporting events. Students who attend will be able to learn about their individual career pathways to their roles, what work they are involved in on a day-to-day basis, and the legal issues which underpin these mega sporting events.
Our confirmed panellists so far include:
Hugh Lyons- Head of Legal - Commercial & Cricket Operations at Cricket Australia
Jacquie Mangan- Chief Legal Officer at Tennis Australia
Emily Thompson- Legal Counsel at the Australian Grand Prix Corporation
The event is set to be highly engaging with audience participation shaping the course of the discussion and the questions asked on the night.
After the panel, students will have an opportunity to network with panellists with canapes and beverages provided for all attendees to enjoy .
This event will run from 6PM on Wednesday, May 3rd at Melbourne Law School in Room G01.
Registration is essential as capacity is limited. Please register at this link if you are keen to come along!
