This evening, the Cypriot Community Association of Queensland was invited by The Hellenic Australian Lawyers Association (HAL) to attend The Alexander Christy Freeleagus Oration, in Clayton Utz’s Brisbane office.
The 2026 Oration, "4000 Years of the Greek Language and its Cultural Impact", was presented by HAL’s newly appointed National Patron, the Hon. Anthe Philippides SC.
It was a truly inspiring speech by Her Honour, who took us on a journey through the history and evolution of our Greek language and its significance and impact on every aspect of ancient and modern society.
We also heard from a past Clayton Utz lawyer who beautifully recounted the life, career and immense impact and contributions made by the late Alex Freeleagus AO.
Sincere congratulations to the Hon. Anthe Philippides SC, on her new role as National Patron of the Hellenic Australian Lawyers Association.
