Business Sh!t: A letter from "Back off, BD!"

This is the first instalment of the show's deep dive into everything to do with the business of law. We're calling it "Business Sh!t"—but you can call it whatever will balance this month's P&L.


Featuring the very excellent expertise of your two business babe besties:


  • Fleur Madden⁠⁠, CEO, Freelancing Gems + The Ginsburg Firm; Business Coach; Board Member; and Women in Business Advocate
  • ⁠⁠Kara Cook, Former Lawyer + Founder of Australia's first Domestic Violence Focussed Law Firm; Non-Executive Director, and CEO

  • This week we answer a letter from one of our listeners, "Back off, BD!"; a lawyer struggling with the expectation that she needs to spend her personal time drumming up business for her employer. Why can't she just be a good lawyer, and then go home at the end of the day?


    We also enjoy forcing an inimitable Australian legal ethics legend—⁠⁠Stafford Shepherd⁠⁠—to provide his sage ethical guidance in a strict one-minute segment.
