About this event
FLAV is back — this time, they’re seeking an adjournment, and we’re unopposed.
The year is almost done. The hearings can wait. It’s time to adjourn somewhere with better views and a glass in hand.
Join FLAV for an end-of-year evening at The Boatbuilders Yard, South Wharf — a relaxed chance for Melbourne’s family law community to catch up outside court, chambers and the office.
There are no presentations, panels or CPD points to collect. Just good food, drinks and an easygoing evening with colleagues, friends and the people you’ve spent the year appearing with, against, instructing and emailing at unreasonable hours.
Whether you’re a solicitor, barrister or otherwise part of the family law community, come along for a drink, some appetisers and a proper end-of-year catch-up by the Yarra.
