This will be the 7th year that Worrells will hold a Victorian State Conference. This invitation only event started with the Queensland partners and a few clients getting away for a weekend to discuss changes in insolvency legislation and recent case law. It has grown substantially from that humble beginning to have over 60 invited delegates.
Over the course of the weekend we will have 4 papers given by professionals practicing in the industry. We welcome the delegates, particularly those attending for the first time.
Details of this conference are provided below and will be updated regularly.
