    Cross Examining Cyber EP25: Cross Examining Anne Templeman-Jones

    After our brief hiatus, we are back with our Cross-Examining Cyber Director Series. In this series, we sit down with some of Australia's leading directors to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing boards in an increasingly complex cyber landscape. In this episode, we cross-examine Anne Templeman-Jones, one of Australia's most accomplished business leaders and non-executive directors. Anne has served on the boards of Commonwealth Bank, GUD Holdings Limited, Worley Limited, and Blackmores (as Chair). She has also held board and leadership roles with Cuscal Limited, HT&E Limited, Pioneer Credit Limited, TAL Superannuation Fund… the list goes on. Anne is also passionate about technology and cyber security – what a combination! In this conversation, Anne shares insights from her boardroom experience, including how directors can navigate emerging technology risks, approach cyber resilience, and balance governance with growth and innovation. Drawing on a career that has spanned multiple industries, Anne reflects on what makes an effective director and the lessons that boards can apply in an increasingly uncertain digital environment. Thanks again for listening. This is Cross-Examining Anne Templeman-Jones. Here we go…

    The Third Wheel (ESG Australia) EP50: Looking back at the first wave of climate reporting

    Welcome back to The Third Wheel. In this episode, we turn our attention to one of the new features of the annual reporting landscape: mandatory climate disclosures. With the first wave of reporting now completed, we thought it was the perfect moment to pause and reflect. What’s working well? Where are organisations still finding their footing? And what challenges are starting to surface? This episode kicks off a two-part series, where we explore early trends emerging from the first round of disclosures. We share our initial observations, highlight recurring hurdles or challenges, and point to areas where reporting is already showing real progress.

    The Third Wheel (ESG Australia) EP51: ASIC observations and lessons for future climate reporting

    In Part 2 of our climate reporting series, we build on the themes from Episode 50 and shift the focus to what comes next. As the first wave of disclosures has wrapped up, attention has turned to the next climate reporting cycles - particularly for June and September year-end companies. The question now is: what lessons can organisations take forward? In this episode, we unpack key takeaways from the first round of sustainability reporting and explore how they can be applied in practice for future reporters. We also take a closer look at ASIC’s early observations and share our perspective on what these mean, and how companies can consider them going forward.

    Deal Talk EP6: The cost of disclosure: what the Dexus case means for dealmakers

    In this episode of Deal Talk, partners Kam Jamshidi and Nicole Pedler examine the Dexus vs Australia Pacific Airports Corporation litigation, which has firmly brought into focus how divesting parties manage confidentiality obligations in a sale process. Analysing the key lessons from Justice Hammerschlag's judgment in the NSW Supreme Court, Kam and Nicole work through the key issues arising from the case, including: • The scale of disclosure and why the nature of the recipients made the breach so serious • Why Justice Hammerschlag found the breach to be both material and irremediable, and what the breakdown of trust and confidence between joint venture parties means in practice • The role of the board in issuing the default notice and the drafting considerations that flow from that; and • The practical lessons for transactors, from coding for exit at the joint venture formation stage, to applying more staged, carefully controlled information disclosure in sale processes

    Legal Tech Deciphered Trust, Truth and Hallucinations EP2: eDiscovery in 2026

    In this episode, we step back from our case study (covered in Episode 1 Parts One and Two) to address a key question: how does GenAI compare to technology-assisted review (TAR)? David Beck (Head of eDiscovery UK & EMEA), Meghan Ryan (Senior Manager, eDiscovery) and Danbee Kim (Head of Digital Legal, US) cut through the hype to explore how these technologies work in practice. They examine why TAR remains central to large-scale review - particularly for precision, consistency and defensibility - and where GenAI adds value, including contextual insight and early case analysis. Drawing on real-world experience, they show why GenAI is often reinforcing (not replacing) TAR, and reframe the debate around a more practical question: what is the right approach for the matter, the data and the client?
