  • LawTech Talks: Better harnessing tech to thrive
    In this special episode of LawTech Talks, produced in partnership with Actionstep, we unpack the challenges being faced by firms big and small, their technological priorities versus the reality being experienced on the ground, and how tech can better enable the achievement of those priorities. Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Actionstep’s regional vice president in ANZ, Zahn Nel, to discuss the myriad challenges being faced by firms across the spectrum at present and what can be learnt from those challenges, law firms’ top priorities in the current climate, and the disconnect between priorities and on-the-ground realities. Nel also delves into issues surrounding client expectations, changing the mindset of leadership and the firm more broadly, defining digital maturity, questions that firms need to be asking to ensure tech can properly enable change, revenue capture and compliance readiness, practical steps to better achieve a firm’s priorities, frequency of evaluation of progress, and ensuring the firm’s strategy is fit for purpose.

  • The Boutique Lawyer Show: Pivoting, niching, and starting a side hustle
    Earlier this year, award-winning sole practitioner Claire Styles worked from Europe for two months. That working holiday allowed her time to reflect on what was working and not working in her business, and since then, she’s moved to not only adapt her approach and home in on what she truly wants to do, but she has also started a side hustle – all of which is providing greater personal and professional meaning for her. In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back C Legal founder and principal Claire Styles (a former winner of the Sole Practitioner of the Year category at the Women in Law Awards) to discuss living out her personal values in her business, why she did a working holiday and what she learnt, undertaking a new firm structure, and why working holidays can be a happy medium for practitioners who are afraid to step away from the business.

  • The Corporate Counsel Show: Improving legal teams’ use of AI
    In this special episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, produced in partnership with LexisNexis, we explore the opportunities in front of law departments to expand the breadth of what they can achieve, including by taking small, accessible steps to improve familiarity with new technologies. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with LexisNexis APAC head of legal Ali Dibbenhall about the work she does and what she enjoys about it, her observations about the success or otherwise that law departments are experiencing in onboarding and effectively utilising new technologies, the universality of being “resource constrained”, and where we’re at with AI governance in-house. Dibbenhall also delves into having safe places to experiment, using platforms as a sounding board or devil’s advocate, taking small steps to find efficiencies and streamline departmental operations, changing one’s habits, and the benefits of AI in in-house legal practice.

  • The Corporate Counsel Show: Ensuring psychologically safe workplaces (and AI’s place in such conversations)
    In the current climate, maintaining psychological safety in law departments requires much more than box-ticking – a stronger focus on culture, and use of AI to ensure greater focus on human issues, is paramount moving forward, says an Award-Winning and GC Powerlisted Group General Counsel. In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back former group GC of Tabcorp, Ivana Kovacevic, who now serves as a fractional GC and advisory board member for Thomson Reuters Practical Law, and keynote speaker, to discuss the importance of building psychological safety in legal teams in the current climate, her perception of what constitutes psychological safety for law departments, and how well the in-house sector is faring when it comes to ensuring such safety. Kovacevic also delves into the need to move beyond compliance box-ticking, the urgency is prioritising psychological safety, the starting point for in-house teams in creating and maintaining psychologically safe working environments, catering to idiosyncratic needs within one’s team, practical steps she has taken within her own teams and what has worked, making time to implement changes, using AI to take a more human approach, leading by example, and the need to be curious and vulnerable.
