The Stynes Address is an annual high-profile lecture related to the practice of law and the construction industry.

Each year, a speaker will be selected by SoCLA to present a thought-provoking lecture to the construction industry, the kind of speech that will challenge industry views and norms and shift the conversation.

More details of the 2025 Stynes Address will be available on this page in due course.
