The law is becoming more colourful and unique, Kiarah Kelly says, and the more that emerging legal professionals lean into their idiosyncrasies and showcase such personality to clients, the better off the profession – and those it serves – will be. In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Brisbane Family Law Centre practice leader Kiarah Kelly, who recently won the family law category at the 30 Under 30 Awards, about what motivated her to enter the legal profession, how she navigates it on a personal level, what it means to have an imperfect path, and why she embraces her imperfections on her vocational journey. Ms Kelly also discusses how and why younger lawyers are more attuned to the notion of embracing one's individuality, how she does it (practically) on a day-to-day level, how others can look to move towards leaning into their uniqueness, why it will benefit clients, and how best employers in law can support and encourage such individuality.

Five years ago, Clarissa Rayward started an online community for like-minded legal professionals, which has become so much more than just a knowledge-sharing discussion board, she says – “connection” is what makes such a venture so personally and professionally rewarding. On this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Brisbane Family Law Centre director Clarissa Rayward to discuss what inspired her to set up The Club (her online community for lawyers), the time and effort that oversight of such a community requires, how it forms part of her broader business plans, and how and why the community she has brought together has been so meaningful and purposeful for her. Ms Rayward also delves into the importance of connection to your colleagues, the ever-increasing need to be nimble and agile in interpreting legal practice methodology, how individual lawyers glean different benefits from being part of such online communities, how such communities for lawyers will continue to evolve in a post-pandemic market, how much time one should spend engaging in their own communities so as to bolster their own businesses, what she has learned from her time with The Club that she otherwise would not have learned about herself and the law, and what the future holds for her community.

In this new episode of the divorce series, I have the privilege of interviewing Clarissa Rayward. She is the Director of Brisbane Family Law Centre as well as a podcaster, author, business coach and speaker. It is evident that she loves people and has fun working and doing what she does best. Her motivation comes from her desire to make a difference in the world and to bring about social justice. At an earlier stage of almost letting go of her practice, Clarissa journeyed down a path of discovering the psychology behind happiness and positivity. Tune in to find out the five key things mentioned in her book “Happy Lawyer, Happy Life – How to be happy in Law and in Life” that will give you the best chance of happiness as you navigate between work and relationships. You cannot take emotions out of family law but you can begin to learn and practice the technique of differentiating empathy versus sympathy. Clarissa reminds us to never forget the beautiful and good things, and if you are thinking of pursuing law or are at a crossroad to start your own firm, just do it!
