The Life of the Modern Australian and South African Lawyer: Finding Success in Tumultuous TimesThe legal world has witnessed rapid change in recent years with more upheaval to come. With the profession at a crossroads this is an opportune time to examine where we all stand, where we’re going, and how we’re going to get there. Gain insights from eminent legal minds from both Australia and South Africa about life as a lawyer right now and the many changes in store for all of us.Presented by Danny Gilbert AM, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Gilbert + Tobin and Kevin Kiewitz, Founding Director, Abrahams Kiewitz

A View from the Bench: Where the Legal Profession is Headed Times are changing in the legal profession, and what better vantage point to examine how the law is evolving than from a judge’s perspective?Presented by Judge Dennis Davis, High Court of South Africa

Artificial Intelligence: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI If you think AI in the legal profession is all farfetched sci-fi, guess again. While you don’t have to start worrying about robot overlords just yet, switched on law firms and lawyers are already making their practices more efficient and effective through AI. Discover how, why, and what’s to come in legal AI.Presented by Shoshana Shields, Legal Director, Google Australia (invited)

The Blockchain Revolution: Be PreparedBlockchain is bringing a digital revolution that cannot be ignored by the legal profession. New economic, business and societal models are already emerging from blockchain technology and your colleagues, competitors and clients will all expect you to understand how it works and how it can be used. It’s essential that you keep up to date with this growing area.Presented by Gavin Smith, Partner and National Sector Leader, Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Allens (invited)

The Rise of Smart ContractsSmart contracting grows in prominence and sophistication with each passing year. It’s essential for lawyers to understand the uses, opportunities and vulnerabilities of smart contracting.Presented by Adrian Lawrence, Partner and Head of Asia Pacific Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group, Baker McKenzie (invited)

Privacy, Cyber Security and Data Breaches: It’s Not Getting Any BetterHave you already heard all about privacy and cyber security? That’s great, but the bad news is that the key threats and protection strategies are constantly changing. Cyber threats are only growing more complex and more prevalent and regulation is increasing, making this essential knowledge for all practising legal professionals.Presented by Gavin Smith, Partner and National Sector Leader, Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Allens (invited)

Data and the Law: Knowledge is PowerIt’s been said that "information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine." The importance of data increasingly shapes the legal profession. It’s critical that you stay at the cutting edge of data and the law or you run the real risk of finding yourself at a disadvantage to everyone who was wise enough to prepare for the new legal landscape that’s already at your door.Presented by Adrian Lawrence, Partner and Head of Asia Pacific Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group, Baker McKenzie (invited)

CONFERENCE DINNER

DAY 3: MANAGING YOUR PRACTICE AND YOUR CLIENTS IN CHANGING TIMESFriday, 18 January 2019

Technology’s Impact on Running Your Practice: Do you have to be at the Cutting Edge? New technologies, trends and business models emerge all the time. What’s out there now and what’s on the horizon? How do you decide when to make the jump into the new and unknown versus staying with tried and tested methods? What should you invest time and resources into now instead of taking the ‘wait and see’ approach?Presented by Brendan Hughes, Director, Infology

Advising the Modern ClientWith new technologies, shifting social standards and an ever-evolving legal profession, it’s essential that you hone your skills to keep up with the expectations of today’s clients. Fine tune your ability to effectively communicate online and in person so that you can provide effective and efficient advice. Ensure you’re prepared to meet your client’s demands and expectations before they find someone who will.Presented by Yvonne Wakefield, Founder & CEO, Caveat Legal

Business Development and Marketing in the New FrontierIn a fiercely competitive legal market it’s simply not good enough to be a great lawyer. Many of the most successful lawyers stand out from the crowd not only through their legal triumphs, but also through their savvy, modern marketing efforts. Master how to effectively and efficiently market yourself in a way that leads to more business and more success.Presented by Tracy Cohen, Director, Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr

Ethical Trials, Tribulations and War Stories: Challenges Facing Today’s Lawyers Skip the dull recitations of rules and regulations and delve into tales of the nefarious, sordid and degenerate deeds of morally dubious lawyers. Examine how seemingly innocuous occurrences can snowball into ethical train wrecks and what not to do when faced with tricky moral grey areas.Presented by Sydney Jacobs, Barrister, Thirteen Wentworth Selborne Chambers; Alumnus, University of Cape Town

Mountain Walks

Touring this coastal city you can learn of its historic heritage on a Walk to Freedom Tour, visit the hip and vibrant Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, take the cable car up Table Mountain or a leisurely drive along the Peninsula to see the beautiful scenery, or visit the Winelands for some tasting at the local wine cellars. If you don’t have much time to spare, take a full-day safari to Private Game Reserve, where you will go on a 4WD Safari Adventure in search of lion, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, cheetah, zebra, rhino, ostrich, baboon, warthog, springbok and many other wild animals, birds and fauna. Short City Stopovers to Johannesburg and Durban are also a possibility.

The opportunity exists to take some extended tours after the conference and nothing is better than starting your journey visiting the majestic Victoria Falls on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. There you can take a sunset boat cruise to see the spectacular waterfall plummeting down into the gorges below.

Another extended tour is the very popular Grand Garden Tour which gives you a taste of South Africa in 8 days, visiting Cape Town, Oudtshoorn – known as the Ostrich capital, Knysna - where you can explore a charming town set around a natural harbour lagoon and the Addo Elephant National Park, arguably the best elephant watching spot in South Africa.

A 4-5 day Safari from Johannesburg will take you in an open safari vehicle around the Kapama Private Game Reserve where you will have close encounters with remarkable wildlife.

An unforgettable adventure awaits you if you take the journey along the Zulu Coast to St Lucia and then to Swaziland – an independent Kingdom within the borders of South Africa, known for its lovely scenery, crafts and colourful indigenous culture and captivating Kruger National Park, home to a stunning array of wildlife including the “Big Five” – rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard and elephant.

For those wanting something very out of the ordinary on a luxurious level, there are a range of the finest hotels and game lodges in Africa, offering the discerning traveller exceptional hospitality, outstanding wildlife viewing and luxury travel.
