What does the seminar cover?In the decision of Vanderstock v Victoria [2023] HCA 30, the High Court held by a narrow 4:3 majority that a tax imposed by Victoria on the use of electrical and hybrid vehicles was invalid. The tax was held to be a “duty of excise” which, under s 90 of the Constitution, States cannot impose. Section 90 reserves to the Commonwealth Parliament the exclusive power to impose duties of excise.The decision is significant because the majority reopened and overruled previous High Court authority to reach that conclusion. It is also significant because it may affect the validity of other state taxes.This seminar will explore:the meaning of “duty of excise” in s 90 of the Constitution as established by previous decisions of the High Court;the decision in Vanderstock and the key reasons of the majority and the dissenting Justices; andthe implications of Vanderstock for state taxes other than those concerning EVs. Sarah and Michael authored an article of the same name in Proctor (Queensland Law Society) which provides a high-level summary of the topics that will be covered in this seminar.Who should watch?This session will interest advisory and litigation lawyers, especially those with tax practices. PRESENTERSMichael May (Barrister, Level Twenty Seven Chambers)Michael has a broad commercial and administrative law practice, with a particular focus on competition, corporations, tax litigation, equity and trusts, insolvency, class actions, professional negligence, estates and real property.

In this Coffee Break podcast, Africa Legal's Tom Pearson chats to John Kemkers, about Eversheds Sutherland's continental footprint. With more than 100 legal experts working on Africa-related mandates, and offices in key jurisdictions such as South Africa, Tunisia, Angola, Mozambique and Mauritius, backed by partners and offices in London, Paris, Dubai and New York, Eversheds Sutherland has a global reach that few law firms can rival. All these offices frequently work in conjunction with a network of alliance firms called Eversheds Southern Africa Alliance (ESAA), which covers a further 30-plus jurisdictions. “We have broad coverage right across the continent,” says John Kemkers, Head of Africa Group for Eversheds Sutherland, whose focus areas include financial services, real estate and energy sectors. Having worked in both the UK and the UAE, Kemkers has managed disputes across the Middle East and Africa, which gives him valuable insights into the legal landscape of the region. “Our Africa work has two categories of work streams: the first is business-as-usual work for many of our global clients, and the second category, is largely generated and serviced by the Africa Group, working in conjunction with our ESAA firms. The main sectors that we are focusing on are in energy infrastructure, financial, TMT (technology, media and telecommunication) industries and consumer services. In terms of our practice areas and service lines, our focus is on corporate M&A projects and project finance and disputes,” Kemkers explained, adding that the team has worked in over 25 jurisdictions in Africa on significant energy and infrastructure projects, particularly in the clean energy space. Working on a continent with a population of 1. 4 billion spread across 54 countries with dozens of languages being spoken, understanding the local laws can be challenging. “In Africa, more than anywhere else, there is no substitute for local knowledge, and that's why we've grown our Africa network the way that we have. The upshot is that we have a genuine alliance which affords us and our clients access to strong, responsive local expertise,” commented Kemkers. He added that the firm's local law experts are the assets of the firm, enabling Eversheds Sutherland to provide sector- and practice area expertise coupled with cultural awareness and an understanding of the relevant legal and business environments. Kemkers also elaborates on how the firm mitigates risks for their clients in countries with political instability, and further discusses the seamless cooperation between Eversheds Sutherland and their alliance network. He goes on to share a bold step the firm recently took with China's foremost law firm, King & Wood Mallesons, and unpacks the exclusive cooperation among them – a benefit for clients investing and operating in Africa

King & Wood Mallesons' third annual Climate Disclosure report has analysed the ASX50's public statements on climate risk and governance, finding a new,  more rigorous and consequential age has begun for companies' climate and sustainability considerations.  A mandatory climate disclosure regime looms, and recent infringement notices, investigations and proceedings by regulators show regulators are now clearly focussed on greenwashing enforcement.

Together, they unpack the implications for organisations, including what comes next, with a special look over the horizon at nature based and social focussed reporting.You can read the full report here

Mark Schaub, Managing Partner at the global law firm King & Wood Malleson, has been advising companies operating in China for almost 30 years. So, Mr Schaub is the perfect expert to walk us through China's aggressive new rules on data. Since late 2020, Chinese regulators have been cracking down on private companies from Alibaba to Didi Chuxing to on-line education powerhouses like TAL. The focus is on data privacy and data security. In August, the powerful Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) published a new set of rules that will have a direct impact on tech companies, including smart electric cars and autonomous vehicles. What specific changes are afoot? And what adjustments will foreign data-dependent companies need to make in the coming months and years to continue operating in China?

We talk to our friend Henry—a lawyer and expert in transformative technologies—about the weird and wonderful phenomenon of NFTs and digital art. If you've ever wanted to impress your friends with your incredible knowledge of words like "blockchain", "minting", "Proof of Stake", "fungible", this is the podcast for you! We talk about: what NFTs are, how to make them, whether they're a fad or here to stay, the environmental impact, criminal uses, valuing digital art. Amie is there the whole way to ask the "silly questions" and keep the conversation grounded. We try to get to grips with this new technology and have an honest conversation about what it means for artists. Our hope is that, by the end of the conversation, NFTs will lose their intimidation factor.

From his experience in mentoring fresh grads, he encourages them to produce high-quality work, raise situational awareness, and develop communication skills to adapt to different people. Specifically, in the legal profession, it is extremely important to uphold integrity so clients can trust your service and the creation of great products. In the end, Alex gives fresh grads the question of figuring out your life goal - what do you want to do, what makes you happy 10 years from now, BEFORE embarking on a journey of career building, because ultimately, it is different for everyone. -------------------------------- 00:00 - Alex's introduction: Vancouver and Hong Kong, Law and Common Sense 08:40 - A Legal Perspective on the Me Too Movement 22:10 - The Pay Gap in Hong Kong, and examples from Asia 28:20 - Hong Kong's colonial legacy, equality employment, and the Chinese market 33:45 - Common legal mistakes of small and large companies 43:35 - AI and Block Chain plays a role in law, but human errors require human solutions 46:00 - The Three Pillars of a Law Firm - Corporate, banking, litigation 47:40 - Corporate Downsizing and Leaving employees - Two-way transparency is key 53:15 - How soft skills played a role in Alex's career success (and how everyone is different) 1:04:00 - Advice for new graduates - Where do you want to be in 10 years? 1:12:40 - Fresh grads working in a corporate environment - Qualities to have Video version available on YouTube channel “Dr. Jon Tam” Let me know what else you want to hear about.

In this interview, the last of our investigations of how law firms are becoming tech firms, Dan Hunter talks with Michelle Mahoney, the head of innovation at King & Wood Mallesons. She discusses the layered approach to technology and innovation that this elite, multinational firm provides, and divides up the task into four useful categories.

In this episode we talk about the way that law firms have responded to the new technology world in different ways. This episode’s title comes from an observation we heard from the CEO of a legaltech firm who said that “every law firm is a tech firm.” What he meant was that every firm has an IT department, which isn’t that interesting a thought. But we realized that lots of firms do technology in interesting ways, and we wanted to explore these as lessons for everyone. We feature three different sorts of law firms, King & Wood Mallesons which has a dedicated innovation director, Clyton Utz which runs a big data analytics group, and DWF which listed recently on the London Big Board and which uses a range of fascinating legaltech and design approaches. Join us, won't you, as we discuss how every law firm is a tech firm.

Australia finds itself in an increasingly precarious position. The relationship between Australia’s traditional ally, the United States, and its largest trading partner, China, continues its precipitous decline. Four out of Australia’s top five trading partners are embroiled in trade wars, and a global economic slowdown is underway. At the same time, Beijing’s deepening embrace of authoritarianism and expanding global ambitions continue to rattle Australia’s regional allies and partners. As our political leaders grapple with new and daunting foreign policy challenges, what do Australians think about the world? The Lowy Institute Poll has surveyed Australians on their views for the past 15 years. In the span of a generation, the Poll has uncovered striking changes in public opinion about Australia’s most important neighbours and partners as well as the challenges to national security and prosperity. What is driving these changing views? And how should our political leaders respond? The Lowy Institute hosted a panel discussion with Natasha Kassam, Director of the 2019 Lowy Institute Poll; Greg Sheridan, foreign editor for The Australian; Dr Danielle Chubb, Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Deakin University, and David Olsson, former Managing Partner of international law firm King & Wood Mallesons; moderated by Daniel Flitton, Managing Editor of the Lowy Institute’s international magazine, The Interpreter. This event was presented by Lowy Institute at the NGV.

Is artificial intelligence (AI) the game-changer many think it will be? Will advances in AI change the nature of competition and conflict between states, or lift the fog of war? Do the American and Chinese militaries even have what it takes to fully operationalise AI, and what are the weaknesses and risks of each country’s approach? In this episode of the National Security Podcast, Katherine Mansted learns about the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) military modernisation and China’s drive to lead the world in AI, as well as the blind spots and limitations of the PLA’s focus on innovation. She also seeks to understand the key enablers of AI — from data and cloud computing to 5G — as well as the bureaucratic and doctrinal impediments to effective AI applications, and how countries can manage the safety and escalation risks of the AI 'race'.

Technology and innovation are key drivers of social progress and economic prosperity. At the same time, emerging technologies can be 'double-edged swords' used to undermine security and democracy. Innovation is also no longer something driven by genius individuals or major government projects. It is a highly comercialised, globalised endeavour. This means that the private sector is often caught in the middle of nation-state power plays. It also finds itself increasingly on the front-lines of national security challenges – as a player, deliberate target, or collateral damage. In this episode of the National Security Podcast, Katherine Mansted finds out why states are increasingly engaging in acts of 'economic warfare' against each other, and how this affects private sector interests. She seeks to understand how national security policymakers can work more closely with the private sector, and how democratic governments can preserve the advantages that come with an open and global innovation sector, while managing the risks that this openness will be exploited or weaponised. Samantha Ravich of the Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), is the chairman of FDD’s Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation and its Transformative Cyber Innovation Lab, as well as the principal investigator on FDD’s Cyber-Enabled Economic Warfare project.

How are social media platforms changing who has power inside democracies and in international relations? Should Israel's recent strikes on Hamas change our thinking on cyber and the use of force? With Australia in the midst of an election and another coming up in the US next year, can ‘critical thinking’ really protect us from electoral interference and fake news? In this episode, Katherine Mansted asks three cyber experts from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business Scott Shackelford, Angie Raymond, and Abbey Stemler, on the role of international law in transnational data sharing.

Why are relations between Washington and Beijing increasingly competitive, and should we expect a reset any time soon? Will Washington have an enduring role to play in the Indo-Pacific? Is technological advancement making strategy more difficult in the 21st century? How can democracies respond to the rising risk of technology-enabled foreign interference? In this National Security Podcast, Katherine Mansted talks with Laura Rosenberger about the security challenges democracies face in a world of renewed great power competition and rapid technological change. They also examine the pros and cons of the Trump administration’s approach to the China challenge, and take a look at what good foreign policy could look like in the 21st century, as well as how everyone – from citizens to national governments and overseas allies and partners – can play a role in securing democracies.

This week in Crypto Watch, Producer Greg Dimopoulos spoke to Urszula McCormack, a Partner and regulatory specialist at King and Wood Mallesons based in Hong Kong, who recently authored a brief sheet on Ethereum.

Blockchain smart contracts are self-executing contracts composed of computer code. These programs, which are executed by the entirety of the network, enforce the rules described within the code. Effectively, in this realm, code is law. And as we’ve seen recently, altering the outcome of that code after it has been deloyed, should we later realize that it was flawed or did not produce an intended result, can be messy. In addition, there are instances where human intervention can be necessary or even desirable. Take a mortgage agreement for example. Should a smart contract be entrusted with the responsibility of making a decision when the borrower can no longer make his payments? In cases such as this, subjective human intervention is be necessary. Scot Farrell and Claire Warren, lawyers at the global law firm King & Wood Mallesons, think that humans should not be automated out of every process. While code is logical and predictable, it cannot act reasonably or take into account certain unforeseen events. They have proposed DnA contracts (Digital and Analog), where automation can occur when absolute automation is possible, but where humans may intervene at the edges and provide input when needed. Topics covered in this episode: What issues DnA contracts are trying to address The basic concepts behind DnA contrats The scenarios where DnA contracts may be valuable Examples of DnA contracts applied to interest rate swaps and mortgages How DnA contracts could be integrated with blockchain technologies The impact of DnA contracts on legal services Episode links: How to use humans to make “smart contracts” truly smart DnA Contracts proposal on GitHub This episode is hosted by Meher Roy and Sébastien Couture.
