2026 YLD Speed Networking and Wine Tasting

The ISBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) hosted a Speed Networking and Wine Tasting event on Friday, February 27, 2026, at the ISBA Chicago Regional Office, 20 South Clark Street, Chicago. Young attorneys, newly admitted lawyers, and law students had a valuable opportunity to connect with and receive mentorship from an impressive group of accomplished attorneys, judges, and legal professionals from across Illinois. Conversations covered topics such as securing a first job, exploring various career paths, and maximizing ISBA membership benefits.

Following Speed Networking, attendees enjoyed an evening wine tasting featuring a curated selection of wines led by a knowledgeable wine expert. The relaxed setting provided additional opportunities for meaningful networking. Proceeds from the Wine Tasting supported the YLD Children’s Assistance Fund, which awards grants to Illinois organizations serving children and advancing law-related initiatives.

Thank you to all who joined us, and a special thank you to our generous sponsors for making the event possible!
