    Why insolvency figures have been at record highs in 2024 (and will likely continue in 2025)

    The countercyclical practice area of restructuring and insolvency has experienced a hugely busy calendar year, with the volume of work not expected to dissipate anytime soon. With that is coming renewed interest from the emerging generation for such legal work, says one BigLaw partner. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Clayton Utz partner Maria O’Brien about her longstanding interest in restructuring and insolvency, how and why practising in this space feeds into one’s sense of self as a lawyer, responding to various market conditions, and why corporate insolvency has “really taken off this year”. O’Brien also discusses how regulatory scrutiny and parliamentary inquiries are impacting the landscape, the sectors that are being hit hardest and why, the experience of lawyers in this space in recent times, why new lawyers are more interested in working in restructuring and insolvency, and how to ensure best practice for clients in such interesting yet challenging times.

    Lifting up women in law

    In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Holding Redlich, we explore the respective journeys and experiences of two recently appointed partners at the BigLaw firm, their perceptions on addressing gender inequality in the legal profession, and how best to support emerging practitioners. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Holding Redlich partners Megan Cant and Sarah Butler about their respective practice areas and how they both reached the partnership, what they see as the headline issues when it comes to elevating and supporting women in the profession, moving past tokenistic approaches, and how workplace changes are allowing individuals to flourish in ways that make sense to them. Cant and Butler also delve into lessons learnt from recent workplace evolutions for the experience of women, their duties as leaders in a BigLaw firm to set the right example, the opportunities to keep driving equity and parity forward, the role of men in such conversations, and what Holding Redlich is doing to support women in the workplace.

    The current macroeconomic climate and what lawyers need to know

    In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Commonwealth Bank of Australia, we unpack notable trends – socially, politically, economically – in the domestic and global markets and how Australian legal practitioners can move to further ensure their financial security.

Todd also delves into how Australia is faring economically relative to global counterparts, why he is optimistic about the Australian outlook, whether now is the time for lawyers to be rethinking their financial strategies, the questions they need to ask of themselves, and practical steps to take in revamping their investments, portfolio and broader financial plans.

    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.

    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.

  8. 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.
