Outgoing President, Juliana Warner thanked the Executive team for their commitment to representing the profession and advancing the public good.
“The 2026 Executive consists of individuals dedicated to advocating on behalf of the profession and community to shape policy, improve our laws and defend our democratic principles,” Ms Warner said. “I thank them for their support and guidance over the past 12 months.
“It has been a privilege to serve as the President of the Law Council.
“I welcome Tania into the President’s role knowing she will continue to push for change for the better, focus on the health and wellbeing of our profession and prioritise issues that still need urgent resolution, including access to justice and youth justice.”

“As I step into this role, I am conscious that I do so on the shoulders of giants of our profession – not least of all our current President, Juliana Warner,” Ms Wolff said.
“I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to represent a profession I love — one that has enriched my life and career, and whose members inspire me daily through their service to clients and their community.
“As President, my focus will be on advancing the values at the heart of who we are and shining a light on the essential character of the work we do.”
