In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Matthews and Carter Associates, we explore how and why London remains such an attractive destination for Australian practitioners and how best they can secure roles in the British capital. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Matthews and Carter Associates founder and director Anthony Matthews about how he supports the vocational growth of Australian practitioners in finding overseas roles, the current demand for Aussies to relocate in the UK market, and what life is like – both personally and professionally – for those that make the move to the UK.

Matthews also dives into the salary expectations for practitioners who relocate, what UK-based firms see in Australians and their competitive edge against global counterparts, how Australians can make lives for themselves overseas rather than simply doing short stints, the practice areas that UK-based firms are currently recruiting for, the size and scope of matters that one can work on, the international recruitment trends to be across, and how best those interested in making a move to London can set themselves up for success.
