Here, a leading tax lawyer reflects on the current state of affairs for practitioners, the intangibles and implications from a high-profile High Court proceeding, and what makes tax law such a meaningful vocational pathway.

In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Corrs Chambers Westgarth head of tax controversy Angelina Lagana about her career in this practice area and what she finds uplifting about it, the headline trends and challenges facing practitioners in this space, how different the climate may be for tax lawyers post-election, and how such practitioners are clamouring for change.

Lagana also delves into the PepsiCo proceedings in the High Court and the case’s implications and intangibles, what to look out for with the bench’s looming decision, what will constitute best practice for tax lawyers moving forward, and why the younger generation coming through the ranks should view tax law as an appealing vocational pathway.

Juggling university life, work commitments, and social activities seems like an impossible task for many law students. However, Aaron Lee argues that with the right strategies, law students can effectively manage their studies without compromising other important aspects of their lives.

In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Aaron Lee, a fourth-year commerce and law student at the University of NSW and a paralegal in personal injury law, about how his interest in problem solving and overcoming challenges inspired his pursuit of a legal career, his personal experience with burnout and how it has fuelled his passion for promoting a balanced lifestyle among law students, how burnout begins long before entering the legal profession but also during university, and the impact it can have on law students early in their careers.

Lee also shares the strategies he has personally implemented to manage and prevent burnout, reveals that he divides his day into three distinct mini-days to create a more balanced lifestyle, explains what this breakdown looks like in a practical sense, emphasises why it is crucial for law students to prioritise a healthy, balanced lifestyle, explores the challenges that law students face in achieving this balance, discusses whether universities should take a more active role in promoting wellbeing among their students, and addresses the common misconception that prioritising other aspects of life will negatively impact academic performance.

In this special episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, produced in partnership with LegalVision, we explore how innovative legal teams can navigate the myriad of legal, ethical, and professional concerns and risks as they adopt and embed artificial intelligence into their practices and processes.

Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back LegalVision General Manager and Head of Legal Emmanuel Giuffre to discuss how in-house legal teams are managing AI adoption, what they’re hearing from clients across the country about common AI challenges and the layers inherent with AI implementation.

Giuffre also covers the benefits legal departments are experiencing from AI, the shift in sentiment among in-house teams, and the key legal, ethical, and professional considerations involved.
