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

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

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

In this episode of the Lawyers Weekly Show a recruiter sheds light on the attraction of working in-house and what to expect once you've made the move. Host Stefanie Garber is joined by Dolman Legal Recruitment general manager and in-house specialist Phillip Hunter and Lawyers Weekly publisher Will Magee to discuss why private practice lawyers are often tempted to move in house and if it lives up to their expectations. Mr. Hunter reveals that in-house roles often go one of two ways; either very generalist, or very niche, and both come with benefits and drawbacks. Lawyers considering the move are cautioned to think carefully before making the leap as the transition back to private practice can be tricky. http://www.lawyersweekly.com.au

On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show we look into recruitment trends in the new financial year and the impact the Brexit has had on bringing Australian lawyers home. Our host, Lawyers Weekly journalist Lara Bullock, is joined by Taylor Root Australia manager Matt Harris, who shed light on how lawyers have responded to their end of financial year bonuses and pay rises. The amount of candidate movement is slightly higher than usual, with more young lawyers interested in making a shift than any other group. While the impact and implications of the Brexit remain to be fully seen, the flow of lawyers from Australia to the UK may reverse as demand in London drops. http://www.lawyersweekly.com.au
