Meet the Architects Silent Lunch Series
2026/7
SANDTON
Meet the Architects forms part of The GRM Group’s Silent Lunch Series - a ten-part programme exploring the growing gap between sensationalised headlines about legal jobs and the quieter, more deliberate work being done by firms and in-house teams to build sustainable careers.
The goal is to establish a practical blueprint for legal careers that will elevate South Africa’s legal profession into the top tier of the global market by 2036. This marks the most proactive, industry-wide initiative to take control of the narrative around legal jobs and remuneration in South Africa.
In partnership with our named ARCHITECTS, the GRM Group and Baraza Events brings the ultimate legal power lunch series to WeWork in Sandton. We're facing tough topics head-on to equip delegates with practical insights to help future-proof their firms for the decade ahead. Hear from the leaders that set precedent, the power players that drive change, and the insiders that rewrite the rules of the profession.
