The Hon Victor Dominello MP, Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation, will be the keynote speaker at the Australian Lawyers Alliance (ALA) annual NSW State Conference.

The conference is being held at Dockside Darling Harbour, on Friday 11 March from 8.30am and will examine legal issues ranging from the future of statutory insurance schemes through to a review of Personal Injuries Litigation.

ALA NSW President Roshana May said that all media were welcome to attend the NSW State Conference. More than one hundred local lawyers and other legal professionals are already registered to attend this event.

Ms May said the conference boasted an exceptional program, which provided an excellent opportunity for professional development for NSW-based legal practitioners.

Mr Dominello’s address will cover ‘The Role of the State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) and Future Directions for Statutory Insurance Schemes’.
