    Jul 15 2026

    🎙️ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁.

    David sat down with Victoria Rebellato, General Manager at FLENA (Family Law Education Network), to discuss the realities of modern family law practice and why supporting practitioners matters just as much as supporting clients.

    From education and automation to wellbeing and community, FLENA is helping family lawyers build more sustainable careers.

    💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

    ↳ Family law remains one of the most emotionally demanding areas of legal practice

    ↳ Automation and practical resources help lawyers spend more time advising clients and less time on repetitive tasks

    ↳ Ongoing education, networking, and mentorship strengthen both individuals and firms

    ↳ Wellbeing isn't a nice-to-have. It's essential for a sustainable legal career

    For Victoria, the mission is simple:

    Support family lawyers so they can continue supporting families.

  • LegalTechTalk 26 - Dan Hauck
    Jul 14 2026

    🎙️ At LegalTechTalk 2026, David sat down with Dan Hauck, Chief Product Officer at NetDocuments, to explore how AI is changing document management.

    The next evolution isn't just storing documents.

    It's understanding the knowledge inside them.

    With NetDocuments' new Legal Context Graph, documents become connected knowledge, giving lawyers the full story behind a matter, the client, and the people involved.

    💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

    ↳ AI can automatically extract and organise legal knowledge as documents are saved

    ↳ Connected matter histories help lawyers get up to speed faster

    ↳ Firms can identify internal expertise without relying on manual knowledge sharing

    ↳ Rich legal context improves both AI responses and business development opportunities

    As firms move beyond AI drafting, competitive advantage will come from something much harder to replicate:

    Their institutional knowledge.

  • LegalTechTalk 26 - Gabriela Ivancu
    Jul 13 2026

    At LegalTechTalk 2026, David sat down with Gabriela Ivancu, Founder of Gabs Terms, to discuss one of the biggest barriers to successful AI adoption.

    It isn't choosing the right AI tool.

    It's preparing your business for AI in the first place.


    💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

    ↳ Data scattered across multiple systems limits the value AI can deliver

    ↳ Successful AI starts with clean data, clear workflows, and well-designed processes

    ↳ Technology should solve business problems, not create new ones

    ↳ Ethical implementation is just as important as technical capability

    As Gabriela explained, AI implementation doesn't begin with selecting a platform.

    It begins with getting your business ready for change.

  • LegalTechTalk 26 - Anne MacGregor
    Jul 12 2026

    At LegalTechTalk 2026, Redmond sat down with Anne, Partner at Gecić Law, to discuss what happens when businesses prepare for the future instead of reacting to it.

    Having recently launched the firm's Brussels office, Anne shared how EU legislation is reshaping businesses across the Western Balkans well before countries officially become EU member states.


    💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

    ↳ Regulatory change is only the beginning. Practical implementation is where businesses feel the real impact

    ↳ AI is helping lawyers reduce research time and deliver advice faster

    ↳ Legal tech must support local languages and regional workflows to unlock its full value

    ↳ Technology improves efficiency, but experience and mentorship remain irreplaceable

    The message was simple:

    Don't wait for change to arrive.

    Prepare for it.

    Jul 8 2026

    At LEGAL INNOVATION & TECH FEST, Roni Millard, Founder and Health & Wellness Consultant at The Wellbeing Edge, sat down with Ryan from Relativity to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing legal professionals today.

    It isn't just AI.

    It's managing ever-growing volumes of data while maintaining security, governance, and trust.

    💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

    ↳ Legal teams are dealing with more data than ever before

    ↳ AI needs to operate within secure, controlled workflows

    ↳ Data security and sovereignty remain top priorities for legal professionals

    ↳ The real value of AI lies in helping practitioners find the right information faster without compromising confidence

    As legal data continues to grow, firms aren't just looking for smarter AI.

    They're looking for peace of mind.

  • LegalTechTalk 26 - Daniel Dalla Vedova
    Jul 8 2026

    🎙️ 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁.

    At LegalTechTalk 2026, Redmond sat down with Daniel, COO at Moritz, to discuss what AI really means for the legal profession.

    His view?

    AI isn't slowing down.

    It's a wave that's still building.

    💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝘆𝘀:

    ↳ AI is changing legal services faster than many firms realise

    ↳ The future belongs to firms that rethink service delivery, not just adopt new technology

    ↳ Fixed-fee pricing and faster turnaround are becoming key competitive advantages

    ↳ Young lawyers entering the profession have an opportunity to build entirely new skills with AI

    Rather than fearing AI, Daniel believes lawyers should see it as an opportunity.

    As he put it:

    "You can either drown or try to surf it."

    The firms that embrace change won't just survive.

    They'll help shape what legal services look like next.

  • Paying the Cringe Tax: Escaping BigLaw & Ungatekeeping Careers with Mel Storey
    Jul 2 2026

    Are the traditional days of the "tournament of lawyers" finally over? In this episode of the Law and Beyond Show, Chantal McNaught speaks with Mel Storey - Founder of Council Media, host of the Council Podcast, and the internet's favourite "Career Big Sis" - to pull back the curtain on the realities of the legal profession.

    Mel has spent 15 years in commercial practice and shares her journey from private practice to in-house Head of Legal in tech, and why she's now taking a "permanent corporate gap year". We get into the nitty-gritty of what private practice lawyers get wrong about going in-house, the hidden hurdles for first-generation lawyers, why Gen Z law students are refusing to inherit broken systems, and why putting yourself out there online requires paying the "cringe tax" every. Single. Day.

    We also cover:

    • Practical advice for law students trying to navigate opaque clerkship processes.
    • How AI is democratising legal knowledge and disrupting tertiary education.
    • Navigating the ethical frameworks and governance of LLMs in legal practice.
    • Overcoming the fear of new technology and staying curious.
    • The reality of corporate restructuring and why blind loyalty doesn't pay off.
    • Why law firms need to be more transparent in their hiring (and why the "Gen Z stare" isn't what you think it is).

    At LegalTechTalk 2026, David Woolstencroft sat down with Rafik Hwimli, CEO and Founder of Contractzlab, to discuss how AI is transforming legal and compliance operations.

    Rather than relying on general-purpose AI, ContractsLab is building specialised AI agents designed to help organisations manage contracts, compliance, and governance more efficiently.

    💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

    ↳ Agentic AI is emerging as the next evolution of legal technology

    ↳ Specialised AI models can deliver more targeted outcomes than general-purpose AI

    ↳ AI can turn unstructured data into meaningful business insights

    ↳ Better visibility across legal, compliance, and finance supports smarter decision-making

    As AI continues to evolve, the focus is shifting from simply generating answers...

    ...to deploying AI agents that can perform meaningful work.
