The recent dismissal of a Melbourne-based junior lawyer by her employer, for refusing to delete a viral TikTok video in which she alleged poor working conditions at her law firm, doesn't just give rise to questions about the extent to which employees can air grievances on social media; it has also highlighted differences of opinion between generations about workplace culture in law.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Clayton Utz partner Mariam Azzo about how she's developed an impact investing practice at the BigLaw firm, what it is and why it's of such interest as a legal practice area, where Australia sits globally for impact investing, what's driving the explosion of activity in this space, the social, cultural, and economic "hopelessness" being felt on the ground, why M&A lawyers are well placed to advise on impact investing projects, avoiding "mission drift", how lawyers can get into impact investing work, and what excites her about continued developments in this space.

For many law graduates, the rise of artificial intelligence has triggered a daunting question: if AI can do the work traditionally given to junior lawyers, where does that leave the next generation of practitioners? However, one lawyer is challenging the fear surrounding AI and urging young lawyers to recognise that their value extends far beyond the tasks technology can automate. In a recent episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Grace Robbie speaks with Sophie Hutchins, a lawyer at Lawnch, about her experience studying with and without AI being present. She argues that while AI can serve as "another mentor" and "superbeneficial tool", it won't take over the jobs of lawyers, discusses the growing fears among today's law graduates that the technology poses a threat to their careers, and explains how a constant stream of media headlines is fuelling unnecessary fear around AI's impact on the legal profession. Hutchins also shares why junior lawyers are becoming even more valuable as the legal profession navigates rapid technological change, argues that young lawyers should have a seat at the table from the outset because they are the profession's future leaders, challenges the perception that early-career lawyers are overly reliant on AI, outlines what needs to be done to shift that narrative and build confidence among emerging practitioners, and encourages young lawyers to trust both their own abilities and the work they produce.

In this special episode, brought to you by Lawyers Weekly's sister brand, Defence Connect, from its Contested Ground podcast series, we reflect on whether Australia is moving away from its traditional "sensible centre" towards greater political polarisation. Hosts Phil Tarrant and Major General (Ret'd) Dr Marcus Thompson discuss whether Australia's "sensible" centre will hold as the country faces a populist political surge and the established political parties continue to lose ground, or will decades of failed policies, broken promises, and declining economic opportunities finally come home to roost? The pair also talk about the declining level of trust between Australians and the political class, housing, taxation, and the economic pressures facing younger Australians, and whether Australia is continuing to promote an outdated version of the "Australian Dream" while younger generations face record debt levels, higher living costs, and greater financial uncertainty.

From warnings of a graduate jobs crisis to predictions that artificial intelligence will reshape the profession, law students are being bombarded with reasons to worry about their future. But one recent law graduate says much of the alarm is nothing more than "fear mongering" – and believes the outlook for aspiring lawyers is far brighter than many headlines suggest. In a recent episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Grace Robbie speaks with Sai Muthukumar, a paralegal with Gilbert + Tobin and the Attorney-General's Department, about the recent headlines suggesting law graduates are struggling to secure entry-level roles, argues that much of the narrative is "fear mongering", and explains why aspiring lawyers should remain confident despite the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and technological disruption. Muthukumar also explores the growing legal technology skills gap among law graduates, calls on law schools to better equip students with practical legal tech skills, urges aspiring lawyers to take the initiative to upskill themselves, explains why human skills are becoming more valuable for young lawyers to possess than ever in an AI-driven profession, and encourages law students to make the most of their university experience, reminding them that building connections, gaining practical experience, and enjoying the journey are just as important as academic success.

Justice shouldn't be determined by your postcode, yet for many people across regional and remote NSW, that remains the reality. In this episode, Ronan MacSweeney and Danielle Ford examine the growing access-to-justice gap, the barriers facing communities outside metropolitan areas, and why action to address the issue cannot wait. In a recent episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Grace Robbie speaks with Ronan MacSweeney, president of the Law Society of NSW, and Dannielle Ford, president of the Central West Regional Law Society and director solicitor at Cheney Suthers Lawyers, about the current state of access to justice in regional and remote NSW, as well as the real-world consequences communities face due to limited infrastructure investment outside metropolitan areas. The discussion also reflects on a recent two-day forum in Orange, which brought together more than 20 leading legal professionals from across NSW to confront the challenges facing regional and remote communities, the growing pressures on practitioners outside metropolitan areas, and the factors driving fewer lawyers to regional practice. It highlights the urgent areas requiring investment and attention, stresses the importance of NSW taking a long-term approach to planning for regional legal services, and calls for more lawyers to consider the rewarding career opportunities, lifestyle benefits, and community impact that come with practising in regional and remote areas.

As law firms get their heads around the new obligations for designated services under the expanded AML/CTF regime, firm owners can't overlook the subsequent duties under the Privacy Act they also now have to comply with. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Law & Cyber founder Simone Herbert-Lowe to discuss the workload coming for cyber lawyers in the new financial year, privacy obligations for designated service providers, what these obligations mean in practice for law firms, guidance from the courts and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) on such matters, reasonableness of a law firm's efforts to comply, practical steps that firms must take, and broader advice for law firm owners to navigate the shifting sands. Clarification from Simone Herbert-Lowe: On reflection, in this episode I said that family lawyers and wills & estates lawyers who occasionally transfer property, via a family law settlement or probate, are generally providing a designated service. That's not quite right. Most such transfers are exempt under the AML/CTF Act's court order exemption. The real risk areas are transfers under binding financial agreements, estate transfers made without a grant of probate, and creating or restructuring trusts as part of a settlement or estate plan, none of which the court order exemption covers.

In this special episode of The Legal Brief, produced by Lawyers Weekly's sister brand HR Leader in partnership with national law firm Kingston Reid, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Kingston Reid partner James Parkinson about two emerging trends currently reshaping the conduct of workplace litigation in Australia. Artificial intelligence is increasingly being deployed in legal proceedings, and this trend shows no sign of abating. The rise of the "AI advocate" is driving a surge in rights-aware self-represented litigants, with generative AI capable of producing legally framed claims. While this presents a perceived expansion of access to justice, it also places significant pressure on courts, tribunals, and employers who are required to navigate AI-generated materials in order to respond to claims. The presenters explore how Australian jurisdictions are responding, through evolving guidance notes and procedural guardrails, and why a recalibration towards more traditional, oral advocacy may be on the horizon. Against this backdrop, our presenters also explore the growing prominence of collective employee claims. With significantly higher civil penalties and intensified regulatory scrutiny, the economics of enforcement have shifted. Resolution is no longer confined to employee remediation, and may increasingly involve consideration of payments to prosecuting parties, including unions. For employers, the implications of these developments are clear: compliance must be proactive, remediation swift, and litigation strategies rigorously stress-tested. In a system being rapidly reshaped in the wake of new technology, organisations that recognise these shifts and act early to address issues will be best placed to navigate a more complex and costly disputes landscape, whereas employers who fail to adapt risk being outpaced: procedurally, financially, and strategically.

Once a professional gets to the age of 60, they often hit an inflection point, personally and professionally. Here, a former big four auditor and recruiter turned coach unpacks how and why this happens and what older legal practitioners need to do to ensure they can continue to flourish, in whatever form that takes. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Sean Spence & Associates director Sean Spence about his work with lawyers, what happens to lawyers once they hit their 60s, the impact of the billable hour upon individuals, the extent to which being locked into one's identity as a lawyer influences their direction, the "positive corollary to these negatives", practical steps that older lawyers can take if they hit this inflection point and the questions they should ask of themselves, and what younger lawyers can and should do in anticipation of reaching this vocational juncture.

According to this head of legal, it's "almost impossible" to have workplace excellence without also building and maintaining a good and kind team culture. Here, she unpacks how to tick all boxes. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back ANZ head of legal Danielle Nahum to discuss why a culture that is good and kind is not incompatible with achieving excellence, whether legal leaders are adequately focused on the need to tick all boxes, whether what constitutes excellence is evolving, and challenges standing in the way of excellence and good culture. Nahum also reflects on how and when she learnt the need to strike the right balance between achieving excellence and creating the right kind of culture, how she looks to implement this in her own team, the importance of proactively managing such issues, identifying elements contributing to suboptimal outcomes or culture, better managing scattered workforces, better integration of team members with different cultures, and how leaders can stay calm and ensure such priorities do not fall down the to-do list.

While many lawyers may dismiss podcasting as a novelty or a waste of time, Dennis Meador argues that this mindset could not be further from the truth, with podcasting quickly becoming a game-changing tool for building authority, strengthening connections, and standing out in an increasingly competitive legal market. In a recent episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Grace Robbie speaks with Dennis Meador, the founder and CEO of The Legal Podcast Network, who shares why podcasting is rapidly emerging as one of the legal profession's most beneficial tools, unpacks the five types of podcasts lawyers can launch, and explains why every successful podcast begins with a clear purpose and strategy. He also delves into what intentional storytelling truly looks like for lawyers and how they can master it to build stronger connections, credibility, and influence. Meador dives into the widening gap between lawyers who are embracing podcasting and those still underestimating its power, explains how podcasting enables lawyers to build powerful "pseudo relationships" with potential clients, unpacks the tangible business and branding benefits that come with intentional storytelling, and stresses why lawyers can no longer afford to treat podcasting as an afterthought, but instead as a strategic priority for the future of their practice.

Whether a developer, business, or user bears the onus of responsibility if an autonomous agentic AI tool makes a mistake remains an open question, on both the legislative and policy fronts. In the absence of legislative or policy guidance, such questions could cause legal and contractual headaches. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Lander & Rogers partners Matthew McMillan and Margaret Gigliotti about the advent of agentic AI and its significance, the parties who could have responsibility for mistakes made by new technologies and why, the liability concerns at play, the potential for increased disputes or contractual claims, the need for legislative and policy clarity, and the role of lawyers in ensuring best practice in the workplace and with clients until such developments come to fruition.

There is an emerging trend whereby clients are increasingly using AI tools to prepare and negotiate a broader range of documents internally, from term sheets and employment agreements through to commercial contracts and internal governance materials, often without legal review at the earlier stages (or at all). Such a trend creates serious downstream risk, one partner argues. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Hazelbrook Legal partner Aabid Farouk to discuss the downstream disputes risk where documents are incomplete, inconsistent, poorly negotiated or not properly tested against regulatory and enforcement realities, and how the rise of AI-enabled legal and commercial workflows is likely to drive further growth in disputes, investigations and enforcement work over time.

For decades, the legal profession has been seen as an industry dominated by privileged and upper-class backgrounds, but one law student is challenging that narrative by shining a light on the importance of greater diversity within the profession and the immense value of ensuring people from all walks of life have a place in law. In a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Piadora Rahme, a lawyer at Corrs Chambers Westgarth, about her motivations for wanting to become a lawyer, her journey growing up in Mount Druitt, her experience of receiving an Equity Early Offer scholarship for her law degree, and the financial benefits that scholarships provide, as well as the powerful role it can play in opening the doors to university for many individuals. Rahme also explores the barriers that continue long after admission for students who receive equity scholarships, reflects on the moments questioned whether she truly belonged alongside other law students, candidly shares the difficulties of building connections and finding mentors, and delves into why the legal profession must continue to broaden its reach to ensure people from all backgrounds and communities have a genuine seat at the table and the opportunity to be part of the industry.

Amid enormous market and professional change, there is enormous potential for leaders in law firms to empower and elevate their teams, rather than be bogged down in adapting to a shifting landscape. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Katie Minogue, a former principal at Maurice Blackburn turned leadership coach, about her journey as a personal injury lawyer, how and why she pivoted to being a facilitator and leadership coach, the demand for better leadership in the current climate, and what's standing in the way of firm heads being better leaders right now. Minogue also delves into what constitutes good leadership in the current climate, whether it's more difficult than ever to be a good law firm leader, the questions that firm leaders must be asking of themselves ahead of the new financial year, whether leaders are actively prioritising such matters at this point, and how optimistic she is about the future quality of leadership in law firms.

A lawyer and award-winning author has fused her two worlds into one striking work, releasing a novel she describes as a sharp "piss-take" of the Australian legal profession and the entrenched norms that shape life within it. In a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Rebecca Lim, the head of legal, financial services regulatory at Judo Bank and an award-winning author, about her unique dual career spanning law and writing. Lim unpacks her journey navigating both worlds, shares why creative outlets for lawyers are essential, delves into the transferable skills from writing that have shaped her legal skill set, and explains how she balances two demanding yet very different careers. Lim also discusses her newly published book, which she described as a sharp "piss-take" of the Australian legal profession, where her protagonist turns the traditional corporate ladder narrative on its head, unpacks what she hopes young lawyers will take from the book, and explains how liberating it was to write so candidly and so differently, for a legal audience. 

In a time of voluminous geopolitical and sociocultural change, there are myriad opportunities for legal practitioners to work across borders in the Asia-Pacific region, furthering their clients' interests and bolstering their vocational capabilities. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with the president-elect of the Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA), James Jung, about his career, what motivates him to serve in extracurricular roles, why new thinking and a new approach is needed to work across borders in the current climate, challenges that lawyers face in these times, and why it will be a priority for him as president of the IPBA. Jung also delves into how his own journey is demonstrative of inter-regional collaboration, the dangers of isolationist approaches and the role of lawyers in pushing back, what it looks like for lawyers to be more connected across borders, the opportunities to be grasped, and practical steps to be taken.

According to one employment law partner, there is a movement from employers towards seeking permission to use the likeness of employees, for open-ended purposes, in agreements and clauses. For individuals handing over their likeness, there could well be "very serious implications" moving forward. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Angus & Carr partner Lachlan Carr about how employment law, and its myriad strands, stands at the intersection of humanity and commerce, how and why employers are increasingly looking to use the likeness of current and former employees in perpetuity, what's driving such an increase, and the flow-on consequences for workers. Carr also delves into the evolution of new technologies and how AI can and might exacerbate such concerns, whether the balance of power is shifting too far in the direction of employers, the questions employment lawyers like himself have to answer right now, practical steps to be taken, the extent to which employment law itself will continually undergo evolution in the face of market change, and how best lawyers in this space can be advising clients right now.

The traditional notion of the "ideal" law student – expected to excel at everything, all at once – has long been ingrained in the legal profession. But, as one law student argues, that model is no longer realistic, calling for a long-overdue shift to reflect the complexities and pressures of studying law in today's environment. In a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Lucy French, immediate past president of the Deakin Law Students' Society and commencing law graduate at MinterEllison. She unpacks how the legal profession has traditionally defined the "ideal" law student, challenges the pressure to do everything at once, questions why these outdated standards persist, and highlights the importance of navigating a law degree at your own pace. French also challenges the traditional notion of the "ideal" law student, arguing it must be redefined to reflect the realities of today's legal landscape, while sharing the personal benefits of taking a more measured, holistic approach to her degree, calling out the persistence of outdated expectations from firms and universities, stressing there is no single blueprint for a law student's journey, and underscoring the need for more open, honest dialogue so students feel supported in carving out their own path.

Practitioners across the board must identify ways to enjoy their work and maintain an optimal level of joy in the day-to-day, one BigLaw partner says. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Jones Day partner Christine Tran about her recent reflections on the importance of stepping back to explore or rediscover the passion one has for their work, what lawyers can learn from professional athletes, the dangers of burnout, and the inability of lawyers to switch off. Tran also delves into how she is deliberate about maintaining joy in her work and why it is so close to her heart, the kind of lawyer she is and how she intends to maintain such an attitude, what she tells junior lawyers in her team about such matters, the practical ways that lawyers can maintain or regain joy in their work, being OK with whatever happens on the journey, and why joy is more important than ever right now.

Here, we dive into how and why such claims are on the rise and what it means for businesses and lawyers alike. In today's episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Justitia Lawyers & Consultants partner Jess Toop about the state of affairs for general protections claims, why we're seeing an uptick in such claims, what such applications are looking like, how AI is being used to generate the claims, and the impact of these developments.
