Podcasts about Maurice Blackburn

In this second episode featuring lawyers turned political candidates, we speak to the asbestos, dust and occupational cancers lawyer looking to return the Queensland-based seat of Capricornia into Labor's hands. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Maurice Blackburn lawyer Emily Mawson about growing up in a coal mining family, how unionism and justice were ingrained in her at an early age, the importance of standing up for workers, developments in protecting workers from illnesses, and how she – as a young lawyer – came to stand as a candidate for Labor. Mawson also delves into the headline issues facing voters in Queensland, why she feels being a plaintiff lawyer makes her well placed to listen to and address those concerns, the need for more younger candidates in elections, how she's found the transition from legal practice to being a candidate, and why it is so important for young lawyers to roll up their sleeves and better service the community.

In recent years, there have been numerous examples of workers – such as rugby star Israel Folau – having suffered employment consequences, including termination, for expression of personal views. This, Josh Bornstein argues, is demonstrative of a concerning and increasing level of power and control that corporations now have over the private lives of their employees. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Maurice Blackburn principal and head of employment law Josh Bornstein about why workplace and industrial relations law is so stimulating for lawyers and also essential for the community, the need for trauma-informed approaches to practice, and the evolving societal landscape that has resulted in corporate entities having greater control over their employees' lives. Bornstein also reflects on the extent to which the court of public opinion drives corporate decision making regarding employment of individuals, how technology and social media contribute to this storm, his take on “corporate cancel culture”, the difficulty corporations have in balancing legal obligations against community expectations, how global pushback against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) may exacerbate such issues, and why he thinks we are living through a “second Gilded Age”. Bornstein is the author of Working for the Brand: how corporations are destroying free speech.

The exiting national workers' compensation scheme, one principal argues, is “certainly not fit for purpose” and shouldn't be implemented nationwide. Here, she details why a better approach, covering workers of all types, is required if workers' compensation is to better cater to the evolving needs of staff everywhere. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Maurice Blackburn principal Alison Barrett about why plaintiff work is so meaningful for her, the current landscape across all Australian jurisdictions for workers' compensation, whether those schemes are fit for purpose, the existing issues with the Comcare scheme, and the looming consequences that will arise should those issues not be addressed. Barrett also delves into how the cost-of-living crisis and high inflation may compound existing issues for claimants, what is currently being done to improve Comcare and workers' compensation more broadly, how lawyers in this space can better navigate the current landscape, why mental health claims continue as a trend, and her broader guidance for lawyers looking to not only better service clients but also advocate for a better national approach.

Australian law firm Maurice Blackburn is investigating a publisher class action against Google in a strikingly similar $8 billion lawsuit already underway in Canada – led by a tiny regional community publishing boss, Lisa Sygutek, who won't be cowed. “Find your inner warrior, sign-up, go for it,” she urges Australian media owners. Miranda Nagy, the lawyer leading the Australian class action investigation, likewise calls on publishers large and small to join the proposed action. She's aiming to secure “best possible” retrospective compensation. Maurice Blackburn has come to the same conclusion as the US Department of Justice, various European regulators, and a dozen US state attorneys general. They allege Google manipulated and gamed publishers and brands for years with secret deals and projects – some in collusion with Meta – that actively sought to disadvantage them while entrenching Google's market dominance – taking billions of dollars away from publishers and fleecing advertisers in the process by charging far more than was either necessary or officially disclosed. The alleged ruses include things like ‘project Bernanke', in which Google was essentially able to “to take a bigger spread between publishers and advertisers, which means both publishers are getting less money and advertisers are paying more,” according to Adil Abdulla, the lawyer leading the Canadian legal effort through Sotos Class Actions. Then there was ‘Jedi Blue', in which Google is accused of colluding with Facebook to kill the free market publishers and the broader ad market had tried to build through header bidding, while ensuring Facebook got an ad auction advantage in return. Jason Kint, CEO of US peak publisher body Digital Content Next, says Jedi Blue's impacts “are still playing out” and forecasts “a bloodbath of lawsuits being filed”. He thinks the Trump administration will go just as hard with “eight to 10 different code name projects” to go after. While many US publishers, advertisers and agencies had been “captured” by Google, Kint reckons that “halo is starting to come off”. He urges marketers and the supply chain locally to likewise reject being strong-armed. For publishers, Future Media founder Ricky Sutton echoes that call: “This is the first window in 20 years where we've got a chance to take back some of the things that we've lost. What we do is too valuable to be lost to one commercial company with a 25 year run in the sunlight.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we chat with Jonathan Walsh, a principal lawyer at Maurice Blackburn, who has dedicated nearly two decades to advocating for workers affected by dust diseases. Jonathan emphasizes the importance of early detection and improved workplace conditions, passionately fighting for those who often feel powerless against large corporations. He discusses the barriers workers face in seeking compensation, including stigma and fear of job loss while offering practical advice on understanding legal rights and seeking medical help.

It seems that every few months another massive Australian business is accused of wage theft. Coles, Woolworths, the ABC, BHP, Qantas, big banks, major universities...the list of firms found to have not paid workers what they should is expansive. In response, the federal government has introduced new laws starting January 1 next year will make it a criminal offence to deliberately underpay staff, with massive penalties for companies and individuals. But how do you even know if you're being underpaid? And will these laws be enough to stop this happening?  On this episode, Bension Siebert finds out more from principal lawyer at Maurice Blackburn, Patrick Turner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode of the Data Futurology podcast is actually the reverse of normal – most of the time Felipe interviews experts in data science, but this time it's his turn to be interviewed! Last year, he was on Jonas Christensen's excellent Leaders of Analytics podcast, and we've got permission to republish it here.  In the wide-ranging interview, Felipe starts by describing his history. If you haven't heard the story before, it begins with Felipe growing up in the driest parts of Chile. It then continues with him teaching himself databases in his first job in IT, after originally coming to Australia as a backpacker with very basic English. From there Felipe's career in data has taken off, both with his roles in financial services and healthcare, and the launch of Data Futurology. Deeper into the interview, Felipe describes the goals behind the podcast and the events that Data Futurology runs. He then ends the conversation with some insights about how data currently works in organisations, and what the future may hold. One of the most interesting things that Felipe has observed over the years is the potential for data specialists to “graduate” to the most senior roles in organisations. Just as CIOs moved from being a relatively isolated part of the business with few prospects to now being seen as prime candidates for CEO roles, the head of data analytics will increasingly be called on to show broader leadership within their organisations. What data professionals need to do is step up their “soft” or “power” skills (depending on which term you want to use), Felipe says on the podcast. One of the driving goals of Data Futurology is to help data specialists identify these opportunities within themselves and then work on them. To get a real sense of just how passionate Felipe is about data and the people that work in this space, his appearance on the Leaders of Analytics is a must-listen.

On this special episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, produced in partnership with Maurice Blackburn, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with the firm's chief executive, Jacob Varghese, about how law departments can proactively and reactively minimise the costs involved with litigation and ensure greater value for their businesses. Mr Varghese – who spoke at the recent Corporate Counsel Summit to in-house lawyers about the state of affairs with litigation costs – dives into the current litigation climate and the inherent costs, whether the age of coronavirus has exacerbated certain trends, the longstanding incentives in place to retain the status quo when it comes to the cost of legal services and how law departments can and should be responding. He also explains the need for in-house teams to “be as creative as possible” in getting lower prices, the danger of “leaving value on the table”, how corporate counsel are performing when it comes to better appreciating the need for value from legal services (especially in a turbulent time), the need to explore litigation funding services, where litigation costs sit in the triage of urgent priorities for law departments and the questions to ask in getting on the right track.

Jacob Varghese is Chief Executive Officer at Maurice Blackburn. An experienced litigator, he leads Australia's number one plaintiff law firm from its Melbourne office. Since becoming CEO in 2017 Jacob has led the development and implementation of a new strategy to strengthen the firm's financial and business foundations. Together with an experienced and highly skilled leadership team, he has built a “one firm” organisational structure and culture around a shared ambition to widen access to justice on a scale with no precedent in Australia. Jacob started his legal career in the medical negligence team at Maurice Blackburn in 2002. Leaving the firm a few years later to work as a political adviser and parliamentary researcher, he returned in 2006 to its pioneering class actions team. Jacob established himself as one of the country's top class actions lawyers and has run some of the firm's biggest cases. Becoming a principal of the firm in 2011, his achievements include working on four shareholder class actions which each achieved settlements in excess of $100 million for shareholders, and leading the team that achieved Australia's largest food safety class action settlement. Prior to taking up the CEO role, he established Maurice Blackburn's Australian litigation funding business, which focuses on providing funding to parties involved in commercial disputes. He also led the firm's social justice practice, where he contributed to important victories for the rights of some of the most vulnerable in our society, including acting for 109 babies of asylum seekers which resulted in the babies and their families being given visas and released from detention. Jacob chairs the Board of Per Capita, one of Australia's leading policy think-tanks.

In this episode, we talk to Senator Nita Green, Senator for Queensland, about engaging the Australian voters in the political discourse. Topics covered include: - Adjusting to life in Canberra - How to represent the views of regional Queenslanders in Australian Parliament - Issues around insurance in regional Queensland - The need to take action on climate change while focusing on secure employment - The campaign for marriage equality and how it has impacted politicians of the future - The impact of drought when it hits rural Queensland - How to stay healthy during sitting weeks - How to stay safe on social media - The importance of gender equality especially when it comes to politics - The role of the Senate - Australian manufacturing - Tourism in Far North Queensland - The fight for housing for Indigenous Australians About Senator Green: Nita was raised in a single parent family by her mum, who has been a nurse for 40 years. She understood at an early age the difference that access to public education could make to her life and future. Her first job after school was a traineeship, so she knows the role that a strong skills sector plays in giving working class kids a start in the workplace. She worked in the retail and hospitality industry while studying and went on to complete a Bachelor of Creative Arts and a Juris Doctor in Law. Nita's working life has been focused on fighting for fairness and equality. She was admitted as a solicitor in Queensland in 2015 and worked as an Employment Lawyer at Maurice Blackburn, representing workers in sexual discrimination and unfair dismissal cases. In 2017, Nita was the Queensland Field Director for the successful Equality Campaign and then worked as an organiser for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union fighting for the rights of Queensland workers. Nita was elected as a Senator for Queensland and was sworn in on July 1 2019 and will base her office in Cairns, Far North Queensland.

For any leader or prospective leader, this one's a must listen. If you look up the dictionary for the meaning of leader it should state "Steve Walsh". Steve epitomises all that makes up an outstanding leader and all from humble beginnings. Never complaining about performing even the most mundane tasks (including picture hanging and pizza runs), he had an esteemed career in law culminated in becoming Chair of Maurice Blackburn Lawyers. Here is just some of what Steve is doing, has done and leads people to do.... In "retirement" he sits on 3 boards who focus on the prevention of domestic violence, delivering support to families in need and creating self service tech.

Environmental law has existed since around the 1960s, however only recently have litigations pivoted to address the concerns of growing emission levels and a warming climate.

They discuss the history of environmental regulation in australia, the recent EPBC Act review, how covid is affecting the legal system, the economic impact of climate change inaction on investments and our global reputation, and of course the three high profile and progressive cases he's currently working on.

Josh Bornstein is an employment and IR lawyer at Maurice & Blackburn and the director at the Australia Institute. He's been increasingly concerned about the level of control that Australian employers have gained over their employees' freedom of speech and expression. So when it comes to the case of Israel Falou, he's been (controversially) outspoken about the legal ramifications for workers if we accept that your boss can fire you for saying the wrong thing.  Here Josh and I take the time to flesh out his argument on this, how one can unequivocally condemn what Falou said but still object to him losing his job and what the implications for this saga might be for anti-discrimination protections moving forward.   Be the change you want to be in the world and support this show by becoming a Patron please ENOUGH is coming to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August and the Soho Theatre in September @JoshBBornstein  joshbornstein.com.au ARTICLE: Cricket Australia's Angela Williamson won't be the last fired for having an opinion by Josh Bornstein ARTICLE: Sacked for speaking your mind?
