Given the capacity to work on both commercial and humanitarian
matters, migration lawyers can build diversified practices that
those in other areas of law may not get exposed to, says one
award-winning practitioner.
On this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with Crossover Law Group founder and principal solicitor
Marial Lewis – who won the migration category at the 30 Under 30
Awards 2021 – about how and why she chose migration law as a
pathway, the types of matters that one gets exposed to, and finding
the right balance between commercial and humanitarian matters.
Ms Lewis also delves into the challenges that lawyers in this space
can and do face and how to overcome these, opportunities on the
horizon for those interested in this practice area, why she decided
to launch her own firm focused on this space, what excites her
about the future (as a young lawyer), and why others should
consider this as a vocational pathway.
