Disrupting Tradition Innovative Strategies in Family & Estate Law
March 26–27, 2026 | ICC Sydney
A Family Law Education Network event, co-hosted by JustFund.
A Legal Event Like No Other
Disrupting Tradition is the flagship legal conference bought to you by the Family Law Education Network and co-host JustFund.
Created by practitioners, for practitioners — this event isn’t about sitting in a room and collecting CPD points. It’s about meaningful dialogue, real learning, and pushing the boundaries of what the profession should be. The future of legal education, connection and collaboration.
In 2026, we return to ICC Sydney for a two-day experience that blends legal reform, leadership, wellbeing, collaboration, and disruption. Powered by some of the sharpest legal minds in Australia.
