Current career opportunities, from the Middle East to local markets

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with nrol, we explore vocational opportunities for Australian lawyers in the current climate, both domestically and abroad.

Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back nrol founder Jesse Shah to discuss his new business, The Broker For Lawyers, why nrol is the principal partner for the upcoming Women in Law Awards, what's surprised him about the recruitment market in 2025 to date, why the balance of power remains with individual candidates rather than employers and when it might shift, and migration considerations impacting Australian legal recruitment.

Jesse also delves into why Australian lawyers are interested in moving overseas, opportunities in the Middle East, why the region is such a good location for lawyers' growth right now, nrol's new presence in the Middle East, why Australian lawyers are sought after, what lawyers need to ask of themselves if they are to make such a move, local market opportunities in the current climate, perceived trends ahead of 2026, and how lawyers should be thinking about their own positions.
