It's Testimonial Tuesday, and today we're thrilled to share a testimonial from GUY ABEL, highlighting his experience with us at Taylor Rose Australia. With over 41 years in the legal field, Guy brings a wealth of experience. He spoke to us about how the Consulting program has provided him with the flexibility to focus on the legal work he's passionate about, without the administrative burdens he faced in private practice and owning his own firm. Thank you, Guy, for sharing your valuable insights with us. Congratulations on your remarkable career! #consultantlife #consultantsolicitor #worklifebalance #taylorroseaustralia #taylorrose #smartmodernlaw #legalinnovation #legalcommunity #lawyerlife

“Junior lawyers in Herbert Smith Freehills’ (HSF) European offices can now work in any other office on the Continent for up to three weeks as part of a new secondment scheme introduced last year. The European Short Visits Programme (ESVP) applies to all European associates and counsel, excluding the UK, with the requirements for qualifying for this scheme also significantly lower than they have historically been for a formal secondment programme.” More can be read here: https://lnkd.in/es7nQ_F2 #LegalNews #LegalSecondments #LegalCareers 

When is the right time to move In-House? With increasing interest in in-house roles, it's good to get a realistic gage of when is the right time to move in-house. Of course, there is no strict "right time" as such, but there are a few considerations to be conscious of to ensure you make the move at a time when it is advantageous to your career and when you have adequately developed the necessary skills. Here are some cues that it might be the right moment: 💡 DEPTH OF EXPERTISE When you move out of a law firm into an in-house role, generally there are less structures in place for technical training. Given this, you want to ensure you have built a strong and diverse technical skillset during your time in private practice. It is crucial to be properly equipped technically, as in an in-house environment various matters will cross your desk and you need to know what steps to take. Realistically, 4-6 years of experience in private practice gives candidates a strong foundational skillset which they can transfer in-house. Even better if you've been able to gain some secondment experience along the way! Equally, if you have honed your legal expertise in a specific area and feel ready for a more holistic role, it could be the perfect time to explore an in-house opportunity. Your expertise in a particular area (perhaps construction contracts, major projects, IT and technology, employment etc.) will become a valuable asset to a company.   💡 ALIGNMENT WITH COMPANY VALUES A lot of lawyers are driven to work for a company which aligns with their own personal values or interests. Finding such a company often ensures longer term career satisfaction. When your values align with a company's mission and culture, it's a sign of potential synergy and is not an opportunity to drive-by. If you find a corporate environment that resonates with your professional ethos, it might be the ideal time for the shift.   💡 DESIRE FOR BUSINESS IMPACT It's not uncommon for the driving factor of many lawyers to move in-house to be their desire to move from a more transactional, billing based role, to a more holistic and commercial advisory role. If you're eager to see the direct impact of your legal counsel on business decisions, moving in-house can offer that gratification. In-house roles often provide a front-row seat to the business's success and challenges and you can see the outcome and flow-on effect of the work you do and advice you provide. There's definitely no one-size-fits-all answer on the right time, and specific factors affect different career transitions. Think it might be your time to make an In-House move? Get in touch with myself or another member of the Beacon Legal team and we can provide practical advice on how best to make the transition.   #inhouselawyers

Today’s workforce isn’t just nationwide, it’s worldwide. Immigration law has evolved so much, and employers need to understand the intricacies. Is this your legal practice? Let’s talk. #emplaw #immigration

There is a lot of lip service paid in corporate speak to 'valuing people' and building organisations on 'people'. However, many firms and managers do truly value people they work with, employ or encounter in their working lives and we should not let cynicism cloud over the potential for happiness from our experiences with others in the workplace 🤼 At our firm, a small legal practice focussing on quality, expertise and servicing corporates, UHNWIS and HWNIS with investments in specific business segments in Thailand, our team mix and morale is critical. 😃 We know that our firm, and other SMEs and larger enterprises are 'struggling with the labour pool' - finding it difficult to hire and difficult to manage expectations between well educated smart younger generations demanding changes in traditional structures of work and enterprises that must still have a focus on profits in addition to wider meaningful purpose ♎ So, we are proud to highlight some of our team members, 1 Senior Thai Associate Ajalaya Boonhaw (Sky) https://lnkd.in/gNzUX4AU who has been with us 1 year and has now developed her role further by strong efforts; Kanyavee Kitthanawong who joined us as a young but internationally minded paralegal having studied in China and has also forged herself a strong dynamic position in the firm. https://lnkd.in/gn62GmPh We also have our longest standing employee, our office helper - Khun Joy whose cheery nature and dedication has kept us all on track for the 11 years or so our firm has been operating: https://lnkd.in/grdFKbmk and last but not least we should also mention, also featured prominently on our website with pride, our office adminstrator who has graduated to this position from company driver, Khun Max - one of the kindest and calmest persons we have had in our team to date which has an amazing positive effect on stress levels: https://lnkd.in/gK697F84 At our firm, we don't want to just focus on presenting lawyers in suits trying to look serious and knowledgeable whether or not the latter is correct. Experience and expertise is very important, but we also value the ability for our team members to be part of the wider community and avoid sitting in 'lawyersville' or 'legal ivory towers'. We are not above our clients or peers, we are working with them to solve problems and challenges 🀄

🏦 🌵 Reflecting on our journey at Giles Law, here's how we're celebrating culture, collaboration, and client success... As we stand amidst the bustling energy of Phoenix, at Giles Law, we're taking a moment to look back on the incredible journey we've embarked upon together. It's been a path marked by victories, learning, and a deepening understanding of who we are as a team and what we stand for. 🌟 We had several memorable victories for our clients when we all pulled together to work and win our way through complex legal issues. There weren’t just wins in the courtroom; this was a testament to 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝, 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡. But it's not just our legal victories that define us. Over time, we've shaped and crystallized our firm culture, understanding more profoundly what we don't want, which in turn illuminated what we truly value. 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙪𝙨, 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣, 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨. It's about moving together in a harmonious rhythm that not only benefits us as a team but 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚. ✨ This clear, cohesive culture has translated into heightened service for our clients. We've learned that a streamlined and succinct experience for our clients begins with how we treat each other. Inspired by Herb Kelleher's philosophy at Southwest Airlines, we focus intently on providing our team with extraordinary care and support. We believe that when our team feels valued and cared for, they, in turn, extend that same level of care and attention to our clients. As we look to the future, 𝙬𝙚'𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙖𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙. We see a path paved with potential legal victories, and also with opportunities to strengthen our team, deepen our client relationships, and continue building a firm culture that sets us apart. Here's to the journey ahead – may it be as rewarding and enriching as the path we've traveled so far. #GilesLaw #TeamCulture #ClientSuccess #PhoenixLawFirm #BusinessLitigation #ReflectingAndGrowing
