Sparke Helmore’s Commonwealth Executive Forum is an annual gathering directed at senior Commonwealth lawyers, with each instalment focused on a topic of particular interest to the legal leadership of the Commonwealth. The Forum is held in Canberra and intended to provide a space for the open exchange of ideas and insights amongst Executive and Senior Executive-level lawyers across Commonwealth agencies. The event is not recorded, and discussions are held under the Chatham House Rule.

Our 2025 Forum: New dimensions of leadership will explore what effective leadership will look like for senior government lawyers in a rapidly evolving global landscape defined by socio-politico-economic shifts amidst a technological revolution.

If you are a Commonwealth lawyer at SES, EL2 or EL1 level and would like to register your interest in attending this year's Forum, please do so here.

If you have any questions about the Forum, please contact Karwan Eskerie or Caitlin Catalano.
