Nam Truong is the head of Digital and Innovation at Law Squared, an innovative and young law firm based in Melbourne, Australia. Nam is relatively new to the legal industry, having spent a number of years working with digital products in the financial services industry. This non-legal background, combined with the blank canvas of Law Squared's existing tech stack, enabled Nam and the firm to eschew many traditional legal tech services and instead create a flexible and robust system which leverages modern architectural principles. We covered many topics with Nam, including: * Why he moved from fintech to the legal industry, and what key observations he had after making the move. * How Law Squared is different to a traditional law firm and how that affects the day-to-day employee experience. * How Nam and the firm approached the design of their tech stack. * Which particular applications the firm uses, how they are integrated and how it improves the handling and management of data. * Why they chose a modular approach over a monolithic approach, and what benefits and costs it offers. * How the tech stack is expected to grow and develop in the future.

While some businesses may use the NewLaw tag as a “marketing ploy”, there has never been more choice – both for lawyers and buyers of legal services – and, as such, the value of NewLaw methodologies is being reinforced as we head towards a post-pandemic market. , market On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Law Squared founder and director Demetrio Zema to reflect on how well NewLaw firms were prepared for and performed during the age of coronavirus (relative to more traditional practices), how certain methodologies were validated during the last two years, and how the term NewLaw may have evolved during this time. Mr Zema also responds to the idea that “NewLaw is no longer new”, offers his thoughts on large law firms having NewLaw divisions, criticises those who use the tag for marketing purposes without making meaningful change, ensuring his own firm maintains its competitive edge by staying true to its pillars, why clients have more choice than ever before, and what he sees on the horizon for NewLaw practitioners and businesses.

We have launched our new series: ReinventED Legal Business: The Case Studies to showcase legal businesses - law firms, in-house legal departments, ALSPs, Community Legal Centres, Legal Consultancies, Legal Incubators and Accelerators – that have reimagined, repurposed, or reinvented legal business and tell their stories. These legal businesses are not just part of, but are creating a new legal ecosystem with the aspiration, and as these are case studies, the proof of concept, that what they do and how they do it is less about “new” and more about a different “business as usual.” Law Squared is one of these businesses! It's an innovative NewLaw firm that has challenged the status quo of the traditional law firm model. Founded in 2016 by Demetrio Zema, Law Squared has pursued its vision to make good businesses great and great businesses better, by working with their clients in a clear, transparent and engaging manner. Law Squared has consistently pursued its aims to break down the barriers traditional legal service providers have created, by being clear communicators, listening to their client's needs, being efficient, and always transparent on costs. Law Squared has proactively approached its delivery of legal services across four practice areas; commercial, corporate, employment and litigation, and, that's led to Law Squared becoming one of the leading NewLaw firms among enterprises and corporates across Australia. Thanks so much for sharing the amazing Law Squared journey, Demetrio – you've not only built the path but, you're lighting the way for us all too – amazing!

We couldn’t possibly cover everything there is to know about Australia’s most innovative law firm in 30 minutes, so we focus on 3 things: how Law Squared put their clients at the centre of everything they do; the firm’s independent advisory board; and how Law Squared are embracing technology. The post Forget everything you know about law firms. Australia’s most innovative law firm has found a better way (ep 9) appeared first on Lucy Dickens.

In this podcast we're talking to Australian-based game changers, the disruptors who break the mould, and change the way business is done in their industry. We'll be talking to each guest about their journey, especially the beginning and what challenges they had to overcome along the way to understand how they arrived at their current position. About the Host The traditional law firm model is archaic and unable to meet the needs of a thriving ecosystem of entrepreneurs and high growth businesses. Why? Traditional law firms are determined to maintain strict hierarchies and the dysfunctional 'billable hour'. Law Squared has been built around the principles of ‘NewLaw’ to respond to these problems. We’re focusing on changing the legal engagement for high growth businesses through to ASX-listed companies by focusing on outcomes. We too are on our own journey of disruption in the legal industry.

Back to work baby – #guilt #excitement #overwhelm. How am I going to do this? The weeks and months have whizzed by in a blur and it’s time to go back to work – you’re likely feeling a wave of emotions; sleep deprived, still possibly breastfeeding or about to swap parental leave with your partner and join the working parent brigade and wondering ‘how am I doing to manage this? What if I can’t do it, what happens if my child doesn’t cope with child care?'. In Episode 2, Emma Walsh, CEO of Parents At Work and Catherine Brooks, Associate Director, Law Squared and Author of “Let’s Make it Work, Baby” will look at the emotional adjustment required when transitioning back and why it’s such a wonderful opportunity to reset what you want and go back with a new approach that’s going to work for you.

Catherine also provides great resource links around finding out your legal entitlements during the parental leave transition time. The pair also address the personal reflections often experienced at work during pregnancy or on a return from leave including the expectations and judgements we have that put pressure on ourselves. #893277

Trusting other human beings to treat your business with the same care and passion that you would is tough. Finding them is tougher. On this episode I talk to Demetrio Zema, founder of Law Squared about some of his past business's, and how relying on other people to do what you assume they will can have devastating consequences. We also talk about Demetrio's approach to hiring so that he ensures he gets the right employees on board, what he looks for in interviews, the non traditional questions he asks, and why. What about if you start a career but in your gut know it's not really for you after a few short months? Demetrio talks about how his passion didn't lie with Law and how he navigated away from a model he didn't believe in.
