1. How to Avoid Becoming a Target for Claims

Ronwyn North, Managing Director, Streeton Consulting Pty Ltd

This session presents a way of approaching underlying causes of professional liability claims and will help inform risk management priorities, policies and work practices. If you have never had a claim made against you, how do you know whether this is a result of good luck or good practice? There are many potential risks in legal practice, so it’s important to focus your investment of time and effort on claims prevention.

The session is suitable for all practitioners and will provide research-based insights into patterns of claims causation common to all practice areas. It will enable you to better assess the effectiveness of your current approaches to preventing claims and identify opportunities to reduce your exposure

 

2. How to Manage Stress and Anxiety in Navigating Your Way Within the Legal Profession

Alexandra Hof, Clinical Psychologist

The increasing complexity and pace of modern life means that balancing the day-to-day demands of work, home and family can be very challenging. The international pandemic has further stretched our resources.

This course will explore psychological resilience, which is the ability to bounce back from adversity and respond to unexpected changes and challenges in a healthy and sustainable manner. We will look at the strategies resilient people use and how we can nurture those in our own lives. The focus will be on practical steps that participants can undertake to assist them in meeting the challenges both at work and at home.

 

3. Legal Professional Privilege: Future Developments Arising from the Lawyer X Royal Commission and from Money Laundering Legislation

Craig Slater, Barrister, Francis Burt Chambers
Chris Taylor-Burch, Barrister, Francis Burt Chambers

Legal Professional Privilege is changing. This seminar will focus on the changes arising from the Lawyer X Royal Commission and proposals to change reporting obligations for lawyers under anti-money laundering legislation. It will also consider complaints made by clients and non-clients in the context of the abrogation of legal professional privilege arising from the ‘Lawyer X’ case and changes to anti-money laundering obligations.
