Maithri Panagoda recently celebrated
four decades in legal practice. In that time, he
has learnt many lessons — including and
especially the importance of integrity.
On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
is joined by Carroll & O’Dea partner Maithri Panagoda to discuss
his journey from Sri Lanka to Australia, how and when he realised
that legal practice was his vocational calling, his passion for
justice and the rule of law, the most significant periods and
experiences in his legal career, and his perceptions of
injustice.
Mr Panagoda also details the landmark cases he has been fortunate
enough to work on, the impact of those cases, his time working in
regional Australia, the lessons he has learnt over the
course of his storied career, his advice for lawyers in the current
climate, and what excites him about the future of law in
Australia.
