2024 YLD Speed Networking and Wine Tasting

The ISBA Young Lawyers Division hosted Speed Networking and Wine Tasting events on Friday, March 1, 2024, at the ISBA Mutual Office, 20 South Clark Street, Chicago. Young lawyers, newly-admitted lawyers, and law students had the unique opportunity to be mentored by a myriad of prestigious lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals from all over the State of Illinois discussing a variety of topics such as landing their first job, different career paths, and ISBA membership benefits.

Speed Networking was followed by an evening of sampling an array of carefully selected wines, guided by a distinguished wine expert and networking in a relaxed environment. The Wine Tasting’s proceeds benefited the YLD Children’s Assistance Fund, which provides grants to organizations across Illinois related to children and law.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and special thanks to our generous event sponsors!
