As May comes to a close, we are reflecting on a month of growth, connection and meaningful engagement across the legal profession and wider community at Stary Norton Halphen & Galbally.
🔹 CFLA Networking Night – Melbourne Law School
On Thursday 14 May, Partner Louise Conwell and Senior Associate Will Hart were pleased to attend the Criminal & Family Law Association (CFLA) Networking Night at Melbourne Law School.
The event provided a valuable opportunity to connect with students and future practitioners interested in criminal law, discuss pathways into the profession, and share insights into advocacy and criminal defence practice. We are always proud to support initiatives that foster professional development and meaningful engagement within the legal community.
🔹 Launch of Our New Website
This month also marked the launch of our new website: www.starylaw.com
The launch represents more than a refreshed online presence – it reflects the continued evolution of our practice, our shared values, and our commitment to delivering clear, strategic and client-focused legal services.
🔹 National Reconciliation Week
Throughout National Reconciliation Week, we reflected on the importance of listening, learning and strengthening relationships with First Nations peoples and communities.
As a firm, we recognise the importance of meaningful reconciliation and the role the legal profession plays in promoting access, fairness and justice for all Australians.
🔹 Victorian Justice Leaders AI Forum
Partner Sam Norton was pleased to represent Stary Norton Halphen & Galbally at the Victorian Justice Leaders AI Forum, convened by the Law Institute of Victoria.
Bringing together leaders from government, the courts and the legal profession, the forum explored the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities surrounding the ethical and effective use of artificial intelligence in legal practice and the administration of justice.
As we move into a new month, we remain committed to contributing to important conversations, supporting the profession, and continuing to evolve as a firm.
