YOUNG LAWYERS
Dancing privileges embraced at
pre-lockdown Young Professionals’ Gala
After months of gathering restrictions,
postponed events and dance floor
bans, the young lawyers of South Australia
were eager to dust off their dancing shoes
and light up the dance floor.
The 2021 Young Professionals’ Gala
was held on Friday 4 July in the prestigious
John Halbert Room at the Adelaide
Oval. A group of 220 young lawyers and
professionals enjoyed a night of dancing,
networking and fine food.
A highlight of the evening was being
greeted upon entry with a long train of
wait staff offering a vast array of South
Australia’s finest beverages; although for
some it raised the tough question: “Where
do I start?”
The night was accompanied by the
smooth tunes of DJ St Patrick, also
a young lawyer himself. As the night
progressed, he succumbed to the countless
requests to play Cardi B’s latest tune - a
decision loved by many but hated by some.
The Young Lawyers’ Committee would
like to thank our major sponsor, Burgess
Paluch Legal Recruitment and supporting
sponsor PEXA for their continued
support. A special thanks also goes to
the Adelaide Oval for their incredible
hospitality on the night.
