EP 11: The one where we (try) to change the world of nuptials
In this episode of LAW'D have Mercy, we speak to Rebecca Kooiker from Pop Up Weddings South Africa, about inclusivity and choice in the wedding industry. We chat love, law, non traditional couples and marriage. We are firm believers in making "law for everyone", especially when it comes to how couples choose to make their love "official". Rebecca, Jules and their team share this belief too and apply this to how they help couples to tie the knot.

EP 6: The one where you're dealing with a retrenchment...
Covid-19 has changed the way we all work - probably forever. Companies are realising that this economic downturn means a very uncertain future, and many have decided to restructure their businesses to mitigate the risk of closing completely by reducing the working hours of some employees and retrenching others. In this episode, we chat to specialist labour lawyer, Hayley Mackay about the do's and do not's of retrenchment.
Customer Reviews
Episode 10 got me
Episode 10 with Grace (who is also a friend of mine) was fantastic!
It really resonated with me as a fellow attorney involved with what we could term “emotional work”. I administer deceased estates and so dealing with grief stricken clients can have its challenges. As the clients go through their phases of grief, you are there with them every step of the way, from anger to sadness, frustration and very thing in between. I have also had to put certain boundaries in place to actually protect myself as I used to get too emotionally involved, which then was too draining on me personally and started affected my personal life.
So thank you, I am loving your podcasts and keep up the good work Sinal.
