When making career decisions, be open-minded while following your ‘North Star’ 22:40

約 3 日前22:40

22:40

While one cannot control the external environment, one can control the progress and direction of their legal career. As this BigLaw partner has learnt, putting one’s best foot forward on any given client matter and making the biggest difference one can is the best way to get ahead and open new professional doors. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Clifford Chance partner David Clee about his professional journey, the idea of not always following commonly trodden pathways in one’s career, the importance of being open to different pathways, how he has remained open-minded about opportunities while also following a guiding light for what he has wanted in his career. Clee also delves into the need to “maximise the return” on any client matter one works on, being clear about where one wants to end up while also not looking too far ahead, mitigating the “natural inclination to be in a hurry”, finding greater purpose, overcoming environmental uncertainty, adopting the right mindset, and the importance of seeking feedback.

The intersection between AI and cyber security 26:01

約 5 日前26:01

26:01

The complexity of cyber security implications for businesses, and therefore their lawyers, “has exploded” in the last few years, and the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) being used in such criminal activity cannot be understated. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Norton Rose Fulbright partner and Australian head of cyber security Annie Haggar to discuss how and why this year is so busy for cyber lawyers, the proliferation of election disinformation and misinformation and how this impacts cyber lawyers, how the nature of such legal work will continue shifting ahead of 2030, and how data breaches involving AI are changing the game. Haggar also delves into how businesses can navigate the threat of AI and its intersection with cyber security, whether this intersection is the next frontier for cyber lawyers, lessons from recent case law involving Medibank and an ASIC proceeding involving a financial services provider, and what the rest of the year looks like for lawyers in this space.

Protégé: The hidden benefits of slowing down your law degree 32:15

約 11 日前32:15

While some law students may believe that rushing through their degree offers a competitive advantage, this might not be true. Instead, taking a more measured approach to your studies can be beneficial. In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Charlotte Carles, a young ambassador for UNICEF Australia and the founder of Gen Z Abroad, about her initial ambition to pursue a legal career, how her deep dive into the mental health challenges facing law students sparked her passion for advocating for a slower approach to completing a law degree, what this approach looks like in practice, and how this mindset has enabled her to undertake a traineeship with UNESCO in Jakarta and an international internship in Tahiti. Carles discusses how taking a more measured approach can significantly enhance a student’s professional development, identifies the valuable skills they can gain that they wouldn’t from the classroom, outlines the personal benefits of slowing down, including improved wellbeing and the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends, explores how this approach can better position students for a smoother transition into full-time legal practice, examines whether universities should actively encourage this measured approach, and outlines strategies for law students interested in implementing this approach in their academic journey.…

Trauma theory and overcoming ‘masculinist’ tendencies in law 29:23

約 16 日前29:23

29:23

For Dr Colin James, the legal profession’s relative reluctance to appreciate the impact of trauma in workplaces and educational settings is, in part, due to a “masculinist” history that has fed longstanding stigmas and repression of feelings that may arise as a result of being exposed to trauma in the course of one’s work or study. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with retired legal academic and author Dr Colin James about his long and storied legal career and research, his decades-long interest and work in trauma, domestic violence, and masculinity (spurred by a lack of justice and fairness in society), his perception of law’s embrace of trauma theory, and how and why the profession has been reluctant – relative to other sectors – to meaningfully acknowledge the need for change. James also discusses the need for legal workplaces and law schools to better incorporate trauma theory, the strategies that must be implemented in doing so, going beyond legislative requirements, the urgent need to make such changes in the current climate, as well as his newly published book, Vicarious Trauma and Burnout in Law .

Is the ban on non-competes good policy? 32:49

In Labor’s pre-election budget, Treasurer Jim Chalmers announced a ban on non-compete clauses for workers earning less than $175,000. Here, we unpack implications for businesses, workers, and the political climate, as well as the consequences not only for employment law but also for M&A and litigation. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Hall & Wilcox partner Fay Calderone to discuss the announced ban on non-compete clauses for non-high-income workers in budget 2025, what the response has been from businesses and employment lawyers, and the likely consequences for the M&A market and litigious climate. Calderone also delves into the divide between political impressions of this announcement versus the business reality, striking the right balance between employee freedom and business protections, who employment lawyers will have to collaborate with moving forward, what constitutes best practice for lawyers looking ahead, and her broad guidance to businesses in the wake of the announced ban.

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Maurice Blackburn lawyer Emily Mawson about growing up in a coal mining family, how unionism and justice were ingrained in her at an early age, the importance of standing up for workers, developments in protecting workers from illnesses, and how she – as a young lawyer – came to stand as a candidate for Labor. Mawson also delves into the headline issues facing voters in Queensland, why she feels being a plaintiff lawyer makes her well placed to listen to and address those concerns, the need for more younger candidates in elections, how she’s found the transition from legal practice to being a candidate, and why it is so important for young lawyers to roll up their sleeves and better service the community.

Building deeper, richer relationships with clients 25:45

Given the breadth of change to the nature and delivery of legal services in recent years, a lawyer’s connection to clients will be the difference-maker. Practitioners who do not appreciate this, one firm managing director says, will “become extinct”. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back FCW Lawyers managing director Andrew Douglas to discuss the ever-increasing importance of prioritising connected, intimate client relationships against the backdrop of the current market conditions, what it says about where the business of law is at, and how artificial intelligence is accelerating these shifting sands. Douglas also delves into the disconnect between client expectations and lawyers’ capacities, the place for selling one’s self and one’s services, what good service looks like, the motivators to evolve one’s approach to building and maintaining client relationships, questions to ask of one’s self, taking on more hats as a service provider, and taking greater care in one’s work rather than simply churning and burning in the age of AI.

Improving remuneration and incentive strategies 31:52

Remuneration and incentives have always been a Pandora’s box for law firm leaders. In the post-pandemic climate, however, in which employee values have shifted, the equation has become trickier. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show (produced by HR Leader), host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with TalentCode HR founder and managing director Trudy MacDonald about the difficulties firm leaders have long had with implementing successful remuneration and incentive strategies, how COVID-19 spawned a shift in employee thinking around work/life balance, the Great Exhaustion and its implications, the impact of resenteeism, and how difficult it is for employers to cater to idiosyncratic needs of all staff. MacDonald also reflects on whether employees are staying put right now (following the Great Resignation), employee disgruntlement amid high inflation and a cost-of-living crisis, how the latest WGEA data might impact employee thinking, the steps that HR professionals and C-suite executives need to take, measuring success, and the folly of viewing remuneration as an isolated issue.

Tomorrow (Saturday, 8 March), Western Australians will head to the polls to elect their next government, in what is being seen as a bellwether for the upcoming federal election. Here, the president of the state’s Law Society details what law reforms and justice outcomes lawyers in the Wildflower State most want to see. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Law Society of Western Australia president Gary Mack about the myriad professional hats that he wears – including serving as the mayor of a Perth-based town – what being a mayor has taught him about legal service, the state of affairs for those out west, and why this state election is a unique one. Mack also delves into the four pillars of the WA Law Society’s election platform – a well-functioning legal system, youth justice reform, criminal justice reform, and civil justice reform – why it is so essential for the next state government to address these, and how optimistic he is that the state’s Law Society can work collaboratively with the incoming government.
