“We will be organising a whole suite of events to engage the legal community from students to professionals that start discussions and collaborations in practising 21st century law,” she said.

Ms Tversky is a fifth year Monash Arts/Law student. She said that she is thrilled to see Mr Gandhi’s creation spread throughout the legal profession, noting that collaborative thinking can only be a good thing.

“We are millennials who see the buzzword of disruption as a springboard to think creatively about the way in which we practise law,” Ms Tversky said.

“I am excited not only by the changing face of the legal profession, but the opportunity for those in the legal industry and students to come together to learn from each other.”
