Alexandra Tighe has worked on four royal commissions during her
career, two of which saw her act as lead partner. Here, she
discusses what such litigation work is like.
On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
is joined by Holding Redlich partner Alexandra Tighe, who won the
Partner of the Year (BigLaw) category at the 2020 Women in Law
Awards, to discuss the fast-paced nature of litigating a state or
federal royal commission, the added pressure that comes with one's
work being on the front pages of newspapers, and some of the
“organic” professional skills that one gleans in the course of such
work.
Ms Tighe also gives her thoughts on the supposedly increasingly
litigious culture emerging in Australia and whether it will lead to
more royal commissions across the country, particularly in the wake
of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as detail how she has kept up
with clients and sought work in the past year.
