Robo-advice and related legal work
This week on The Lawyers Weekly Show, King & Wood Mallesons partner Nathan Hodge reveals the ins and outs of robo-advice and the related work that lawyers are undertaking. Robo-advice tools provide a range of financial advice to clients, from quite general to very complex, as well as recommending what assets clients should invest in next. While there are no specific laws that apply to robo-advice tools, they must fit in to the boundaries of existing laws, which Mr Hodge likens to "a square peg in a round hole". http://www.lawyersweekly.com.au

Fintech the way of the future
In this episode of the Lawyers Weekly Show we chat with a lawyer from Ashurst who is a driving force behind the firms’ involvement with fintech. Our host, Lawyers Weekly journalist Lara Bullock, is joined by Ashurst lawyer Brandy Tsang who is an advocate for lawyers deepening their knowledge of fintech. Ms Tsang belief that fintech touches many areas of law has stemmed to her involvement in organising internal CLE’s and external presentations up-skilling other lawyers in relation to fintech. As a young lawyer, Ms Tsang has benefited from a background in public speaking and drama and even dabbled in stand-up comedy to boost her confidence. http://www.lawyersweekly.com.au

Opportunities in the Big Apple
Two Major, Lindsay & Africa consultants join up to look at the opportunities for Australian-qualified lawyers in the New York legal market on the latest episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show. Our host, Lawyers Weekly journalist Lara Bullock, is joined by Hong Kong-based legal search consultant Nathan Peart and Sydney-based researcher Mikaela Orme of Major, Lindsey & Africa. Mr. Peart and Ms. Orme explain how the E-3 Visa has made it a lot easier for Australian citizens to be able to work in America and that New York firms are increasingly looking at Aussie lawyers as potential candidates now that the process has been made simpler. While the work load is often hard, the remuneration and relocation packages offered by firms are often generous, and the support given to foreign lawyers preparing to sit the New York Bar exam has made it less daunting than it once was. http://www.lawyersweekly.com.au
