Metadata is a buzzword that has been floating around lately, but what exactly is it and how does it apply to the legal industry? As part of the popular bimonthly FLIP Inquiry Series of live events, this podcast decodes metadata. This discussion was recorded at the second live FLIP panel in August at the Law Society of NSW in Sydney. Legal journalist Melissa Coade hosts four experts speaking about the metadata issues for lawyers.

The FLIP Inquiry Series investigates and de-mystifies hot topics affecting Australian lawyers and the unique pressures they face in a rapidly changing business environment. Many of these issues were forecast by the Law Society of NSW's 2017 report into the Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession.

The first episode of this series discusses cyber security and the threats and opportunities it poses for lawyers. This discussion was recorded at the first live FLIP panel in June at the Law Society of NSW in Sydney. Legal journalist Kate Allman hosts five experts speaking about issues surrounding cyber security for lawyers.
