In the inaugural episode of LawTech Talks, Lawyers Weekly – in
partnership with Immediation – dives into the myriad challenges
facing females in Australia’s legal tech sector, and how such
hurdles can be overcome.
Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Immediation founder and barrister
Laura Keily, as well as Xakia Technologies founder and CEO Jodie
Baker, to discuss the recently-released Diversity in Legal Tech –
It’s Time for Action report, which reveals how few of Australia’s
legal tech founders are women, the barriers to entry and success,
and what practical steps must be taken by all stakeholders to
rectify such issues.
Ms Keily and Ms Baker delve into their respective experiences as
legal tech entrepreneurs and the challenges they’ve both observed
and felt, detail how funders and fellow founders can better support
women and why, and offer guidance to those coming through the ranks
about how best to thrive in an ever-changing market.
