  1. Better advocating for yourself

    Better advocating for yourself

    It can be incredibly difficult to feel empowered to advocate for yourself if you are told you don’t fit the profile for advancement. What can be done? In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with L N Christie & Co lawyer Jessica Karevski about her observations about (and personal experience with) lawyers being told they do not look like someone suitable for leadership, or for a particular job, and what this does to a professional. Karevski also delves into how best to navigate such circumstances, the practical steps to better advocate for yourself and demand a seat at the table, overcoming any fear one might have about doing so, and her guidance to those coming through the ranks.

    LawTech Talks: The ‘moral imperative’ to adopt and utilise new tech

    In this special episode of LawTech Talks, produced in partnership with Clio and recorded at the Women in Law Forum, we unpack what the rapid adoption and utilisation of new and emerging technologies, like AI, means for lawyers’ changing sense of self and their duties to the community. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Clio founder and chief executive Jack Newton and Asia-Pacific general manager Denise Farmer about the lessons and takeaways from 2024 thus far, what these say about where the market is at as we head into 2025, and how Australians are faring relative to global counterparts. The trio also flesh out lawyers’ changing attitudes to what constitutes best practice, the growing appreciation for the changing nature of legal practice, an evolving sense of lawyers’ duties to those around them, and how the make-up of the legal profession and what a leading lawyer looks like are shifting as a result.

    LawTech Talks: Why law firms can’t have AI without intuitive automation

    In this special episode of LawTech Talks, produced in partnership with Actionstep, we explore the fundamental importance of taking a strategic approach to AI adoption and how and why AI and intuitive automation are deeply interconnected. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Actionstep regional vice president in Australia and New Zealand, Zahn Nel, about the headline challenges law firms have faced in adopting and utilising AI, whether such challenges are preventing firms from fully embracing new technology, the extent to which lawyers remain undereducated about AI, how intuitive automation (IA) can enable law firms to adopt new tools and ways of working, and how identifying suitable platforms informs the formation of a strategic approach to technology utilisation. Nel also delves into what intuitive automation is and why it is so essential in AI adoption, the risks inherent with attempting to adopt AI without IA, how firms can practically move forward, the fundamental questions firms must ask of themselves and their missions, how better strategy can help overcome inefficiency, and how Actionstep can support law firms on this journey.

  4. Why greater support for women equals better retention

    Why greater support for women equals better retention

    Research has long shown that women leave the legal profession in larger numbers than their male counterparts. Making the workplace more accommodating and supportive is not only a moral duty – it’s also best for business. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Construct Law Group director Aleisha MacKenzie and special counsel Crystal Ray about the lack of support that women have felt from employers over the years, why it is so critical in the modern age to identify ways to better support female professionals, and the dangers of not doing so for firms and their leaders. MacKenzie and Ray also delve into the various ways their firm looks to support women and their development, why it is essential for leaders to recognise the moral and business imperatives of doing so, the flow-on benefits that firms will experience, and why the profession as a whole will be richer for facilitating greater workplace support.

    Amy Remeikis on lawyers’ duties post-MeToo

    Following her keynote address at the 2024 Women in Law Forum, renowned reporter Amy Remeikis sat down with Lawyers Weekly to discuss the extent to which meaningful change is occurring following the MeToo movement and what lawyers need to do to enact such change.  Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Amy Remeikis about the key messages from her keynote address at the forum, her perceptions on how well (or not) Australian workplaces are performing in addressing misconduct such as sexual harassment, the prevalence of surface-level changes that lack substance, and where that leaves Australian society relative to global counterparts.  Remeikis also reflects on the role that lawyers can and must play moving forward in not only better advocating for societal change but also in improving the sociocultural environments of their workplaces.

  6. Why Australia needs a national workers’ compensation scheme

    Why Australia needs a national workers’ compensation scheme

    Australia’s workers’ compensation landscape, given the almost dozen separate schemes nationwide, is “a bit of a fractured mess”. Having a national scheme, one workplace risk director argues, will go a long way in addressing pervasive issues. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Aon workplace risk director Gary McMullen about the current state of affairs with workers’ compensation schemes across the country, why the disparity is causing problems, the “postcode privilege” that exists for some workers, and how schemes are both declining in performance and simultaneously more expensive. McMullen also delves into self-insurance that businesses will take out, the current state of mental health claims nationwide, the potential for lingering issues to get worse, his case for a national scheme, the likelihood that a national scheme can come about, and how team leaders can help their businesses navigate the current landscape in the interim.

  7. Job-sharing for a ‘truly representative’ democracy

    Job-sharing for a ‘truly representative’ democracy

    Bronwen Bock and Lucy Bradlow are blazing a trail as Australia’s first job-share political candidates, seeking a Senate seat in Victoria. Parliament, they say, “should be like any other workplace” and not be limited to those who can be available 24/7 for the job, as this diminishes who can represent their communities. Our political climate, the pair argues, is poorer for it. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Bronwen Bock and Lucy Bradlow from the Better Together Party about their respective careers and subsequent interest in running for Parliament as job-sharing candidates, how the community has responded to their job-sharing candidacy, and how our Constitution lends weight to their fight to become Australia’s first job-sharing politicians. Bock and Bradlow also delve into their party and policy positions, why their candidacy has shifted from seeking a House of Representatives seat to a Senate seat, the broader message Australians should take from their candidacy, driving forward flexible working arrangements in our national workforce, achieving gender equality, why more men need to explore job-sharing arrangements, and how others can start to explore working arrangements that better suit their needs.

  8. Exerting influence to achieve successful outcomes

    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”.
