2023 Young Lawyer of the Year, Mei Gong, has an incredible list of achievements.
At nine years old, she migrated to Australia from China and had to learn English from scratch, which brought about many challenges. However, she found a love for public speaking that drew her to the legal profession, where she is today a Competition and Consumer Law lawyer at Johnson Winter Slattery.

In this episode, she shares helpful tips for other early-career and aspiring lawyers and reflects on her journey and how her dedication, adaptability, and diverse experiences helped shape her legal career.
