We provide opportunities for our fellow young lawyers to network and learn, through a range of social, wellness-focused, and educational events. We hope to enrich the experience of being a young lawyer in Wellington and to help foster a collegial and valuable network of practitioners for years to come.

The committee hosts a number of social activities throughout the year including:

• after work networking events;
• a harbour cruise for new graduates;
• the "Bridging the Gap" mentoring programme;
• a regional and national mooting competition; and
• the annual "Young Professionals' Ball";

The YLC also organises seminars targeted at the interests of young lawyers, including career development, financial management, and wellness. This year the YLC hopes to have a particular focus on diversity and inclusion in the profession.

"Young lawyer" includes anyone up to 5 years PQE, although more experienced members of the profession are also always welcome at our events.
