Women Network

Connect. Share. Support.

A community for women working in-house to connect, exchange ideas and support one another.

About ICWN

Founded in Australia in 2016, the In-House Counsel Women Network brings together women working in in-house legal roles to connect, share ideas and support one another.

Our events are intentionally informal. We value meaningful connections, great conversations and a community willing to ask for help and give it in return.
