The program “Take Your Time”, presented by Prokopis Agelopoulos, welcomed the distinguished Greek lawyer Eugenia Mitrakas, who lives and works in Australia, on the occasion of her recent honor from the leading legal magazine Australasian Lawyer, which included her in its “Elite Women 2025” list, recognizing her more than fifty-year career in the legal profession.
This distinction is awarded annually to women leaders in the legal sector who have significantly contributed to advancing equality, innovation, and social responsibility within the profession.
Eugenia Mitrakas, head of EMR Mitrakas Lawyers & Notary, was the first Greek woman lawyer admitted to practice in Australia, the first woman elected to the Council of the Law Institute of Victoria, and the first Chair of the Legal Admissions Board. The magazine honored her for her long-standing contribution to promoting gender equality, mentoring young lawyers, and her philanthropic work.
