Among the seasonal issues faced by the next generation of practitioners is a sense of having to prove oneself in the face of voluminous market change. This, on top of evergreen hurdles like competitiveness, makes for a challenging vocational environment – however, this landscape is also one ripe with opportunity.

In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with LIV Young Lawyers president Grace Oakley about why being involved in her member association is so important to her, what she sees as the primary seasonal and evergreen issues facing younger practitioners at this point in time, whether the need to prove oneself is becoming more prominent as a mindset, and the flow-on wellness questions from such challenges.

Oakley also delves into the practical steps for young lawyers to take in the face of myriad market challenges, the opportunities to be grasped as we head into the new year, and why she remains optimistic about the experience of the next generation of Australian legal practitioners.
