In 2024, it’s common for us to be working at home some of the time. That might be half a day or one day a week through to full-time from home.

This isn’t always the easiest thing to do, though. There can be challenges in managing workflow, maintaining focus, engaging with your team and staying connected to the profession.

There are, however, lots of ways to navigate this. In this session, we are bringing together lawyers of varied seniorities to talk about how they work from home, including their tips and tricks, the technology that enables them, when it does and doesn’t work and general workplace management.

Join the Hon Rene Le Miere KC and Elisha Rose (ER Legal), with a junior lawyer, talking about how they do law from home.

Following his retirement from the Supreme Court of Western Australia, Mr Le Miere KC was appointed a Judge of the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts, where he hears matters online from Perth. He also acts as a mediator and arbitrator.

Ms Rose is a sole practitioner at ER Legal and has appeared in all courts and tribunals in Western Australia. Elisha has an established practice in building and construction litigation assisting homeowners, builders, contractors and SMEs. Elisha also assists foster carers in care and protection matters in the Children’s Court of Western Australia.

She is also the Director of Piddington PLT. Elisha’s focus is on course development, regulatory management and delivering a high-quality, work-ready practical legal training course that focuses on The Piddington Society’s values of access to justice, ethics and collegiality.

Attendees will be eligible for one CPD point in CA1 (Practice Management).

This event is being held online via Zoom, a link will be issued on the morning of the event.

Note:

Practitioner ID numbers are issued by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia. Information from the Board is available here. We require these to issue CPD certificates. If you do not provide us with one then we may contact you following the event.

Proceeds from all Piddington activities go toward our access to justice projects. These are: the Piddington PLT Fund, which supports the CLCs that host Piddington PLT graduates to complete their hours required for admission; the Piddington Justice Fund for CLCs, to cover costs that they otherwise cannot meet; and, Kaartdijin, our First Nations Legal Education Fund. We also fund the Christine Wheeler Scholarship and John Chaney Award for new law graduates and law students. Annually we are able to make contributions of more than $50,000 to the community through these projects.
