The FLIP Conference returns in 2021 with a full-day, immersive virtual experience to shine a light on the most significant trends, issues and emerging opportunities facing lawyers in Australia today.
The FLIP Conference is the Law Society's commitment to empowering legal professionals in the face of continuous change and technological innovation. It's where private practitioners, in-house and government legal teams, barristers, regulators, and members of the judiciary join leading researchers in dialogue to connect the Rule of Law with the evolving legal landscape.
The best legal service delivery, marketing, and collaboration solutions shaping the practice and business of law will be on show, making FLIP Conference 2021 an event you cannot afford to miss.
"Over the past year, the historic changes to the way we work have had a significant impact on solicitors, their clients and society, particularly concerning our professional obligations, access to justice and our collective wellbeing. Our members have asked for help to get abreast of the technological innovation that's moving so fast. FLIP Conference 2021 is our call to action."
Juliana Warner, President, the Law Society of NSW

About FLIP
There is no shortage of commentators on the future of lawyers and on what seems like a tidal wave of innovation and change washing through the legal profession. Lawyers together with regulators, professional bodies and universities are all rising to meet the demands and challenges that come with such rapid transformation.
It was against this backdrop that the Law Society of NSW established the FLIP Committee and, in turn, the Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession (FLIP) Commission of Inquiry. The purpose of the Inquiry was to better understand the changes taking place in and around the legal profession and provide recommendations that will enable lawyers to better accommodate new concepts and ideas, and adapt to changes that are taking place now and in the future. The FLIP Report was released in 2017 to gauge what might lie ahead. Through the FLIP Program, the FLIP Committee and the Law Society continues their mission to support the entire profession as they adapt to technological advances shaping how they deliver their legal services.
If you are a member of the Law Society of NSW you can download a digital copy of the FLIP Report as well as other useful resources here.
