A Career Panel for the Ages!

Written by Keely Moggach

FAME LSA’s recent Careers Panel provided a stellar opportunity for students to meet

and hear from five Melbourne lawyers forging careers within the commercial, arts

and entertainment spheres. While law school can at times feel like juggling a

landslide of cases, competitions and clerkship applications, there’s nothing more

motivating than being reminded of the diverse and fascinating careers that await us

on the other side!

Expertly led by our host, FAME Basso Tyler March, panellists fielded questions about

their careers, industries, and the power of creativity and passion for one’s work in a

legal setting. This event further underscored that where art thrives, so too can the

profession of those protecting the fertile ground from which inspiration flourishes,

and who ensure the creative industries remain accessible to their audiences.

From the interplay between fashion, commercial law and trademarking, the utility of a

legal mind in film production, or the career progression of a professional musician to

principal of a law firm, the intersection between the arts and the law continues to

shine brightly in the Melbourne legal scene!

We could not be more thrilled with this event’s turnout, or more grateful for the time

each of our panellists took to share the spotlight in not only answering our questions,

but sticking around afterwards for a friendly chat with students! A huge thank-you to

everyone who contributed to such a memorable event!
