    Exerting influence to achieve successful outcomes

    Being able to influence people and be the “puller of strings” can be hugely beneficial for lawyers in achieving optimal outcomes for clients and their own development and progress. Simply being a “doer”, one professional argues, may not cut it in the current climate. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Frontier Performance founder and principal Pancho Mehrotra about the importance of understanding lawyers’ need to have influence, how certain personality traits highlight or come into conflict with the need to be influential, and lawyers’ cognisance of the capacity to influence in various settings. Mehrotra also discusses the benefits and flow-on effects of being more able to influence outcomes professionally, how such traits are measured, the perception that others will have about a lawyer’s ability to influence, leaning into positive outcomes and avoiding negative ones, the questions lawyers should ask of themselves to achieve better outcomes, whether being more influential can be learnt, the need to make investments in one’s self, and why lawyers can and should become the “puller of strings”.

    Protégé: Showcasing worth, and other challenges facing young lawyers

    Among the seasonal issues faced by the next generation of practitioners is a sense of having to prove oneself in the face of voluminous market change. This, on top of evergreen hurdles like competitiveness, makes for a challenging vocational environment – however, this landscape is also one ripe with opportunity. In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with LIV Young Lawyers president Grace Oakley about why being involved in her member association is so important to her, what she sees as the primary seasonal and evergreen issues facing younger practitioners at this point in time, whether the need to prove oneself is becoming more prominent as a mindset, and the flow-on wellness questions from such challenges. Oakley also delves into the practical steps for young lawyers to take in the face of myriad market challenges, the opportunities to be grasped as we head into the new year, and why she remains optimistic about the experience of the next generation of Australian legal practitioners.

    London calling: Securing a role in the UK

    In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Matthews and Carter Associates, we explore how and why London remains such an attractive destination for Australian practitioners and how best they can secure roles in the British capital. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Matthews and Carter Associates founder and director Anthony Matthews about how he supports the vocational growth of Australian practitioners in finding overseas roles, the current demand for Aussies to relocate in the UK market, and what life is like – both personally and professionally – for those that make the move to the UK. Matthews also dives into the salary expectations for practitioners who relocate, what UK-based firms see in Australians and their competitive edge against global counterparts, how Australians can make lives for themselves overseas rather than simply doing short stints, the practice areas that UK-based firms are currently recruiting for, the size and scope of matters that one can work on, the international recruitment trends to be across, and how best those interested in making a move to London can set themselves up for success.

    Ethical dilemmas for lawyers in the current climate

    At present, there exist myriad market and professional hurdles that require lawyers to think more holistically about their professional and ethical duties and, ultimately, help clients “solve some pretty wicked challenges”. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Cranlana Centre for Ethical Leadership chief executive Matt Finnis – who is a former lawyer – about the ever-increasing importance of ethical conduct for legal professionals, whether lawyers have a duty to “step up” in the current climate, the responsibilities upon lawyers’ shoulders in the face of current market developments, and the difficulties being faced in managing these. Finnis also delves into the management of conflicts of interest, balancing profitability against professional obligations, ethical stewardship of tech transformation, fostering the right kind of workplace environment, and the need to learn from the mistakes of others in ensuring adherence to one’s professional obligations in the face of challenging market conditions.

    Designing and managing discovery processes

    Discovery remains “where cases are won and lost”. Given the physical and technological changes in how discovery is undertaken, ensuring that your team’s processes – particularly in complex litigation – are designed and managed in suitable ways is essential. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with LK special counsel Allie Umoff about her background in litigation, how and why discovery remains crucial for optimal client service delivery, the ways in which discovery processes have shifted and even become more enjoyable, and how good discovery processes are more important than ever. Umoff also delves into how litigation teams can and should think about redesigning their discovery processes, the practical steps to be taken to create a roadmap for success regardless of the client matter, reflections on a case study of good undertaking of discovery processes, the importance of reviewing a team’s success or otherwise in managing discovery, and ultimately what best practice looks like in redesigning and managing complex projects.

    The Boutique Lawyer Show: Grasping the ‘low-hanging fruit’

    Small law firms that not only understand what their idiosyncratic low-hanging fruit is but are also adept at reaching for it will be much better placed to craft business operations in ways that make sense for the practitioner. In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back C Legal & Co principal Claire Styles, a former winner of the Sole Practitioner of the Year category at the Australian Law Awards, to discuss what it means to grasp the low-hanging fruit and why this is so essential for boutique practices, how difficult it can be for such practices to understand the need to operate in such ways, and the benefit of learning from experience. Styles also reflects on the law of diminishing returns, the toll of imbalance upon practitioners, the importance of undertaking annual reviews, having the option of allocating your time in ways that make sense to you, how she has gone about grasping the low-hanging fruit for her own firm, opportunity costs, and cost-benefit analyses that will reap rewards for firm owners.

    The Corporate Counsel Show: Protecting IP 101

    In the current climate, having a plan in place to develop, maintain and protect the intellectual property of a business is becoming increasingly important. Here, we unpack not just how best to do it but also how and why corporate counsel can get excited about such duties. In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Procreate head of legal Sarah Standen about her interest in intellectual property, her experience in a greenfield in-house role and why being an inaugural legal counsel is so rewarding, the increasing importance of staying on top of IP matters, and whether IP gets forgotten in the shuffle of other urgent priorities facing law departments. Standen also delves into the consequences of not protecting a business’s IP properly, the fundamental questions the law department must ask when getting started on a plan, the practical proactive and reactive steps to take in maintaining the interests of a business, the flow-on benefits from having in place a good plan to develop and protect IP, and why corporate counsel should get excited about such a transformation project.

    Limits on airport hugs: What does contract law say?

    Dunedin Airport in New Zealand recently placed a cap of three minutes to hug and farewell loved ones in the airport’s drop-off zone in order to ensure safety and efficient traffic flow. Here, we unpack what common law precedent tells us about the imposition of such rules in public settings. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Dr Mark Giancaspro, a senior law lecturer at the University of Adelaide and barrister and solicitor in South Australia, to discuss the recent cap on hugs introduced at Dunedin Airport, how and why the rule has been implemented, and why contract law seems to suggest there are no legal issues with such a cap on airport farewells. Giancaspro delves into the implicit acceptance of rules promoted via signage once one enters airport grounds, whether such a rule would violate anti-discrimination laws, whether an individual’s acceptance of the airport’s rules can be implicitly accepted even if communication from the airport is verbal, and ultimately why consideration of such legal quirks is a meaningful endeavour.
