Friday, November 7, 2025 • Duration 23:25

Here, the new managing partner of national law firm Colin Biggers & Paisley reflects on his journey as a practitioner, optimal client service delivery, why the firm is in a "great place" in the market, and what lawyers of the future need to look like.

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Colin Biggers & Paisley's managing partner, Dr Andrew Murray, about his unintended entry into and journey in law, the driving force for him as a practitioner, the presence of impostor syndrome, his leadership approach, and how one learns to become a managing partner of a national firm.

Protégé: Why mental health literacy matters more than ever for lawyers

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 26:03

In a profession where burnout and mental health struggles have become all too routine, Tammi McDermott warns that mental health literacy isn't just essential for the next generation of legal leaders – it demands action and support from the entire profession to spark the urgent, transformative change law desperately needs

In a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Tammi McDermott, the founder of Lawnch and a board member of the mental health charity LIVIN, about the alarming rate of mental health challenges among lawyers, explains why this issue drives her passion for making mental health literacy a core skill for lawyers, calls out the profession's tendency to sideline mental health, and unpacks how genuine change can only happen when firms start prioritising their people over clients and billable hours.

McDermott also reflects on how little progress has been made in the way mental health is addressed in law since she first entered the profession, praises the younger generation of lawyers for reshaping the narrative by prioritising their wellbeing, calls on legal leaders to take responsibility for driving change by starting with more open conversations about mental health in the workplace, and emphasises that emotional preparedness and mental health awareness are just as vital as technical expertise for the next generation of legal leaders.

Protégé: How to find your tribe in the legal profession

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 28:11

In a demanding and high-stakes profession like law, Irene Kuo stresses the importance of finding and cultivating a supportive network – connections that not only help you navigate challenges but also empower you to grow, succeed, and truly thrive in your career.

In a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Irene Kuo, director of prime contract management at Fluor Australia and immediate past president of the Western Australia division of the ACC Australia, about how Legally Blonde sparked Kuo's interest in law, the hurdles she faced moving from Taiwan to Australia as a child, and explains how discovering her own support network in the legal profession allowed her to "survive" and thrive in a law firm.

Kuo shares insights on how to build and nurture a network within the legal profession, emphasises that while some connections may fade over time, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, shares the benefits of surrounding yourself with a supportive tribe throughout your legal career, stresses the importance of starting to cultivate your own tribe even at university, and highlights that the key to building an effective network requires self-reflection, understanding the types of people you work best with, and being your authentic self around them.

What WA lawyers want from their next state government

Friday, March 7, 2025 • Duration 24:06

Tomorrow (Saturday, 8 March), Western Australians will head to the polls to elect their next government, in what is being seen as a bellwether for the upcoming federal election. Here, the president of the state's Law Society details what law reforms and justice outcomes lawyers in the Wildflower State most want to see.

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Law Society of Western Australia president Gary Mack about the myriad professional hats that he wears – including serving as the mayor of a Perth-based town – what being a mayor has taught him about legal service, the state of affairs for those out west, and why this state election is a unique one.

Mack also delves into the four pillars of the WA Law Society's election platform – a well-functioning legal system, youth justice reform, criminal justice reform, and civil justice reform – why it is so essential for the next state government to address these, and how optimistic he is that the state's Law Society can work collaboratively with the incoming government.

Dating apps and professional conduct implications

Friday, February 14, 2020 • Duration 23:21

With the rapid evolution of social media and dating applications, workplace policy relating to employee conduct can become somewhat of a contentious issue whereby the boundaries between one's professional and personal life are blurred.

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Carly Stebbing, principal and founder of employment law platform Resolution123, to explain how case law has developed around professional implications for personal misconduct, why screenshot capabilities affect what is deemed private and public, and factors that typical workplace policy consider to be breaches of employee conduct.

Carly details distinctions between the LaLegale and Israel Folau cases, how putting one's views into a public domain differs from sharing personal preferences on a dating app, and provides her recommendations for how lawyers should conduct themselves to avoid any potential professional penalties.

Tuesday, February 11, 2020 • Duration 20:00

Is law losing its humanity?

Friday, February 7, 2020 • Duration 30:11
