In 2017, Thomas Friedman challenged us to reflect on how we would all work differently in the age of technology. In 2021, it’s time to ask the tough questions and…act! So, if machines can do what lawyers used to do, better, cheaper, and faster, why do we need lawyers? How will lawyers continue to add value? How do we define that value? Could it be, at a time when there is so much focus on technology, that ethical responsibilities, humanity, and purpose, our “hearts,” will be our most enduring and endearing asset?

In this podcast, Karen Finch, CEO, Legally Yours Pty Ltd, facilitated a discussion with the people who are re-shaping the future of legal work and, consequently, supporting the evolution of a new and different legal workplace culture:

Martine Barclay, Principal Psychotherapist, Leadership Coach & Wellbeing Expert, Redefine Your Edge

Louise Ferris, Chief People Officer, McCullough Robertson
