Episode 119: What are NewLaw Careers?
The legal ecosystem is complex, multidisciplinary and evolving. Delivery of legal services and products requires the capabilities of many people working seamlessly in collaboration with each other and customers/clients. Contemporary legal practice is all about new - new law, new professions and specialisms, new areas of practice, and new ways of conceiving, working on and solving new legal problems.

- Danielle Emerson, Senior Legal Transformation Manager, Herbert Smith Freehills

- Michelle Grossmann, Chief Innovation Officer & Transformation Lead, Lander & Rogers
- Amber O’Meara, Innovation & Purpose Lead, MinterEllison
