Joining AMPLA is a great way to meet and stay in touch with lawyers working in the same field. It remains a rare bastion of collegiality in a profession that has otherwise become fragmented and less collegial. Working through the state and national committee structure in particular is a great way to enhance your knowledge and your reputation.

Being a member of AMPLA has provided two key benefits to my career, in addition to the enduring friendships. First, as a reliable and often the only source of legal knowledge relevant to the Australian energy and resources sectors, not just on sector topics but also on more general topics and how they relate specifically to energy & resources. Second, as a community of legal and other professionals to learn from and make lasting connections that have proved incredibly helpful over the years.

Peter HoldenManaging Counsel

The sessions that AMPLA offer are a key aspect of the continuing professional development of members of the MinterEllison Energy & Resources Team. They also provide a forum for us to share insights on developments across the energy and resources sector and opportunities to catch up with key sector participants.
