Professional development for lawyers and advisors
PilchConnect is committed to developing the expertise of lawyers and other advisors working with the not-for-profit community sector. We hold a series of events each year aimed at improving the awareness and understanding of the legal and regulatory issues facing the community sector. We also run a Masters subject at the University of Melbourne.
Continuing Professional Development (Melbourne)
In 2011 PilchConnect presented a number of professional development events for lawyers and advisors of not-for-profit organisations. These included:
LLM subject: Regulatory and governance issues for not-for-profits (Melbourne University)
PilchConnect lawyers helped establish and now teach a subject in the Law Masters Program at the University of Melbourne. The subject Not-for-Profit Organisations: Current Regulatory and Governance Issues (LAWS70191) is open to both lawyers and non-lawyers, and covers issues such as:
- the diversity of the sector;
- the choice of legal structure and taxation issues; and
- an overview of regulatory issues and potential for reform.
The subject was run in 2008 and 2010. It will be run again as an intensive subject from 25 July to 31 July 2012.
