Australian Corporate Lawyers Association - General Counsel Forum

Canberra, 3 March 2004

Thank you very much for inviting me to speak at the inaugural General Counsel forum.

I understand that ACLA proposes to facilitate these meetings to bring together directors of legal services groups in the Commonwealth and discuss a range of matters of common interest.  This is an excellent initiative.  This forum has the potential to be an invaluable source of information, as well as a place to exchange ideas and brainstorm common issues.
