Rose Litigation Lawyers' new partner feels at home on the racing track

What is going on at the organisation? Are there any new programs and initiatives that you’re particularly interested in?

Rose Litigation Lawyers is proud to sponsor and work closely with many different universities and Law Students Associations. We have a strong affiliation with Bond University and their Law Students Association due to our presence on the Gold Coast. We believe in nurturing the next generation of legal professionals, and our partnership allows us to contribute to their educational journey.

We provide sponsorship for various events and initiatives, offer practical legal training and clerkship programs, and conduct seminars to give students real-world insights into the legal profession. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship where we can impart our knowledge and experience to the students, while also learning from their fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.

What tech-related initiatives adopted by the organisation, if any, are you most excited about?

At Rose Litigation Lawyers, we’re at the forefront of leveraging technology to enhance our services. We’ve started integrating AI in several ways. For instance, we’re using AI-powered legal research tools that help us analyse legal texts and precedents more efficiently. We’re also exploring AI in contract analysis and due diligence work, where it can help identify risks and issues much faster and more cost-effectively than traditional methods.

This not only improves our efficiency but also allows us to provide more accurate and timely advice to our clients. It’s an exciting time to be in the legal profession as we navigate these new advancements.

What has been your proudest accomplishment in the last year or so? Or what’s the biggest lesson you learned in the past year and what advice can you give fellow lawyers about it?

My proudest accomplishment in the last year was being promoted to partner. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is the importance of resilience and adaptability in this ever-changing legal landscape. My advice to fellow lawyers would be to embrace change and continuously seek opportunities for growth and learning. Where there is change or difficulty, there is opportunity.

What should the profession focus more on?

I believe the profession should focus more on diversity and inclusion. We need to ensure that our profession is representative of the communities we serve.

What are the challenges you expect in your practice, and in the business of law in general, going forward? What challenges are particularly pressing in the country’s legal industry?

The legal industry is becoming increasingly competitive and the expectations from clients are growing. We need to stay ahead of the curve in terms of technological advancements and regulatory changes. In Australia, one of the pressing challenges is genuine and proper access to the law, regardless of wealth. Hopefully, technology can bridge the gap and improve justice.

What are you looking forward to the most in the coming year?

I’m looking forward to leading my team to new heights and making a positive impact on our clients’ lives.

If you weren’t in law, what do you think you’d be doing as a career?

If I weren’t in law, I’d probably be racing cars as I feel at home when I am on the track. Otherwise, I would be exploring remote parts of the world.
