Lawyers and AML/CTF enforcement: Two decades of lessons from the UK
Episode Summary: Most AML/CTF enforcement action against lawyers does not stem from deliberate wrongdoing, but small everyday decisions that go unchallenged and unchecked.

It highlights key risk areas, including client account compliance, property transactions and source of funds due diligence. Dr Katie Benson brings a research-driven perspective, grounded in case analysis and industry interviews, to explain how situational pressures and organisational context shape decision making.

Risk vulnerabilities and money laundering typologies: What lawyers need to know
Episode Summary: What if the biggest money laundering risks in your practice looked exactly like your most routine transactions? This episode explores money laundering typologies and why criminal activity often hides in plain sight within legitimate legal work. Learn how recognising patterns – not just stand-alone red flags – can help mitigate risks for your practice. Guest: Neil Jeans, Partner, Risk Consulting, Grant Thornton Australia Former financial crime investigator, regulator and AUSTRAC expert witness Specialist in financial crime risk and AML systems across law enforcement, banking and regulation www.linkedin.com/in/neiljeans (http://www.linkedin.com/in/neiljeans) www.grantthornton.com.au/meet-our-people/neil-jeans (http://www.grantthornton.com.au/meet-our-people/neil-jeans) Host: Artemis Evangelidis, Law Institute of Victoria podcasts@liv.asn.au (mailto:podcasts@liv.asn.au) | www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria (http://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria) Episode Overview: For lawyers now operating under the AML/CTF regime, the key risk is not deliberate involvement in financial crime, but inadvertent facilitation through routine work. Far from abstract concepts, money laundering typologies reflect real, documented methods criminals use to exploit legitimate legal services. In this episode, Neil Jeans explains how these patterns persist and why they may appear completely ordinary at the point of transaction. This episode explores practical examples, including trust account transactions, property settlements and nominee structures, to show how they can inadvertently create opportunities for criminal networks to exploit. It also examines why red flags often seem obvious only in hindsight and at what junctions applying additional scrutiny yields most benefit. Listeners will gain a clearer understanding of financial crime risk in legal practice, AML reporting obligations for lawyers, and how to identify suspicious transaction behaviours before they escalate. Topics & Timestamps: [00:12] Introduction and AML regime context [01:39] Money laundering typologies explained [04:28] Why particular legal services are attractive to criminals [06:35] Lessons from CBA and Westpac enforcement cases [09:01] How criminals approach lawyers as clients [12:06] Red flags and ambiguity in real transactions [14:06] Reporting obligations and tipping-off concerns [16:40] Key resources for understanding typologies [18:44] Final advice: applying professional judgment Key Takeaways: Criminal networks exploit legal services by making fraudulent transactions look routine and legitimate Most exposure for lawyers is inadvertent facilitation, not deliberate wrongdoing Structural factors such as trust accounts and professional credibility create money laundering vulnerabilities Red flags often appear plausible in real time and only stand out in hindsight An effective way to approach unusual behaviour is to rationalise it before forming a suspicion The AML/CTF regime creates a degree of tension between client relationships and reporting obligations Curiosity and sound professional judgment are critical tools in identifying money laundering risks Resources & Links: Law Institute of Victoria AML resources – Guidance and updates for lawyers on AML obligations | www.liv.asn.au/amlhub (http://www.liv.asn.au/amlhub) Law Institute Journal - Beyond the AML/CTF checklist | www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2026/06june/beyond-the-amlctf-checklist.aspx (http://www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2026/06june/beyond-the-amlctf-checklist.aspx) Law Institute Journal – New free AML guide helps lawyers understand compliance requirements | www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2026/02february/new-free-aml-guide-helps-lawyers-understand-compliance-requirements.aspx (http://www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2026/02february/new-free-aml-guide-helps-lawyers-understand-compliance-requirements.aspx) Law Institute Journal - AML red flags for lawyers | www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2024/09september/new_aml_regime_will_require_lawyers_to_monitor_red_flags_and_mitigate_risks.aspx (http://www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2024/09september/new_aml_regime_will_require_lawyers_to_monitor_red_flags_and_mitigate_risks.aspx) AUSTRAC AML/CTF starter kit for lawyers – Risk assessments and typologies for legal practitioners | www.austrac.gov.au/industry-and-business/obligations-and-guidance/program-starter-kits/legal-profession-program-starter-kit (http://www.austrac.gov.au/industry-and-business/obligations-and-guidance/program-starter-kits/legal-profession-program-starter-kit) AUSTRAC National Risk Assessment – Analysis of money laundering threats in Australia | www.austrac.gov.au/industry-and-business/education-and-resources/publications-and-resources/money-laundering-australia-national-risk-assessment-2024 (http://www.austrac.gov.au/industry-and-business/education-and-resources/publications-and-resources/money-laundering-australia-national-risk-assessment-2024) About This Podcast: Cross-Examined is a new podcast from the Law Institute of Victoria.

Inside FATF: Australia’s role in the global taskforce fighting financial crime
Episode Summary: The Financial Action Task Force, or FATF, may be the most important organisation Australian lawyers have never heard of. Its global standards underpin Australia’s AML/CTF Tranche 2 reforms, shaping how legal practices onboard clients, assess risk and help prevent financial crime. This episode explains why the regime exists, how Australia fell behind its global counterparts and the practical steps lawyers need to be taking as the reforms come into effect from 1 July 2026. Guest: Tim Goodrick, Partner, Financial Crime, KPMG Australia Former Acting Director of the FATF Training and Research Institute and former financial crime policy lead at the Attorney-General’s Department Specialist in AML/CTF system design, financial crime policy and global AML standards www.kpmg.com/au/en/contacts/g/timothy-goodrick.html (http://www.kpmg.com/au/en/contacts/g/timothy-goodrick.html) www.au.linkedin.com/in/timothygoodrick (http://www.au.linkedin.com/in/timothygoodrick) Host: Artemis Evangelidis, Law Institute of Victoria podcasts@liv.asn.au (mailto:podcasts@liv.asn.au) | www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria (http://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria) Episode Overview: The Financial Action Task Force, or FATF, is the global standard-setter behind anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, but its influence is often invisible to legal practitioners. This episode explains how FATF reshaped the global financial crime system, why Australia’s Tranche 2 reforms now extend AML/CTF obligations to designated services provided by lawyers, and what this means for everyday practice. Tim Goodrick outlines the practical impact of risk-based AML/CTF compliance on customer due diligence, beneficial ownership checks, suspicious matter reporting and legal professional privilege. The discussion is designed for practitioners who need to understand why the regime exists, whether they provide designated services, how to identify risk in routine work and practical steps to implementation. Topics & Timestamps: [00:04] Welcome to Cross-Examined [00:12] Episode introduction and AML/CTF Tranche 2 overview [00:54] Why lawyers need to understand FATF [01:14] FATF – the most important body you’ve never heard of [03:24] How Australia moved from model jurisdiction to compliance gaps [07:05] Real-world harms the AML/CTF regime is designed to prevent [09:06] What Tranche 2 means in practice for lawyers [12:24] Professional resistance and lessons from New Zealand [15:22] Legal professional privilege and confidential instructions [18:10] What the regime means for sole practitioners and smaller firms [20:35] First steps for lawyers who have not started yet [22:50] Closing remarks [22:57] Resources, show notes and AML/CTF mini-series reminder Key Takeaways: FATF is not a domestic regulator. It is an inter-governmental standard-setter that assesses how countries combat money laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation financing Australia helped build the global AML system but has fallen behind FATF standards in areas involving lawyers, accountants, real estate agents and other professional services AML/CTF compliance is not only about paperwork. The regime is designed to protect communities by helping law enforcement follow the money behind serious and organised crime Lawyers may be exposed to money laundering risk through ordinary work involving property, trusts, companies, client money and beneficial ownership structures Tranche 2 introduces practical obligations including AUSTRAC enrolment, risk assessments, AML programs, customer due diligence, ongoing monitoring and suspicious matter reporting Legal professional privilege remains important, but practitioners need to understand the distinction between privileged legal advice and transactional services The first practical step is to identify whether the services provided fall under designated services, then map the regulated parts of the business and build the AML/CTF program into daily operations Resources & Links: LIV AML/CTF Hub – Guidance for legal practitioners on designated services, enrolment, AML/CTF programs and Tranche 2 obligations | www.liv.asn.au/web/content/resource_knowledge_centre/anti-money-laundering-and-counter-terrorism-financing-for-solicitors.aspx (http://www.liv.asn.au/web/content/resource_knowledge_centre/anti-money-laundering-and-counter-terrorism-financing-for-solicitors.aspx) Follow the Money: Financial Crime, AML and Risk Series – LIV education series supporting legal practitioners to understand AML/CTF changes and compliance obligations | www.liv.asn.au/amlcpd (http://www.liv.asn.au/amlcpd) Essential AML/CTF resources – Law Institute Journal resource article for practitioners preparing for the new AML/CTF obligations | www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2026/06june/aml-ctf-resources.aspx (http://www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2026/06june/aml-ctf-resources.aspx) FATF Australia Follow-Up Report 2024 – Australia’s current FATF technical compliance ratings and remaining deficiencies | www.fatf-gafi.org/en/publications/Mutualevaluations/Australia-fur-2024.html (http://www.fatf-gafi.org/en/publications/Mutualevaluations/Australia-fur-2024.html) AUSTRAC AML/CTF Reform webpage – AUSTRAC information on reform, Tranche 2 entities, obligations and preparation resources | www.austrac.gov.au/amlctf-reform-webpage-home-everything-reform (http://www.austrac.gov.au/amlctf-reform-webpage-home-everything-reform) AUSTRAC AML/CTF Rules release and upcoming guidance – AUSTRAC update on 2025 Rules, commencement dates and guidance for newly regulated entities | www.austrac.gov.au/amlctf-rules-release-and-upcoming-guidance (http://www.austrac.gov.au/amlctf-rules-release-and-upcoming-guidance) Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering – Australia country page and mutual evaluation materials | apgml.org/about-us/members/members/australia (https://apgml.org/about-us/members/members/australia) Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) – Principal legislation for Australia’s AML/CTF regime | www.legislation.gov.au/C2006A00169/latest/text (http://www.legislation.gov.au/C2006A00169/latest/text) About This Podcast: Cross-Examined is a new podcast from the Law Institute of Victoria.

Fasten your cyber seatbelts: Cybersecurity tips for lawyers
Episode Summary: Cybersecurity failures rarely start with sophisticated hacks. They start with exploiting everyday habits and loopholes that are easy to overlook. In this episode, we unpack cybersecurity for lawyers with one clear message: prevention is better, and much cheaper to implement, than the cure. Guest: • Chris Schwinghamer, Chief Information Officer, Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner • Specialist in digital strategy, cybersecurity and data governance in regulatory environments • https://au.linkedin.com/in/chrisschwinghamer (https://au.linkedin.com/in/chrisschwinghamer) Host: • Jayne Gurton, Law Institute of Victoria • podcasts@liv.asn.au | https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria (https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria) Episode Overview: Cybersecurity and cyber risk mitigation for lawyers is no longer just about anticipating and preparing for the worst case scenario. It is about managing routine tasks and habit. In this episode, Chris Schwinghamer explains why law practices are attractive targets for cyber crime and how simple behaviours can significantly reduce exposure. The discussion covers cyber hygiene in legal practice, including password management, multi-factor authentication, software updates, phishing awareness and safer use of social media. We also explore remote work risks, public Wi-Fi, VPN use and protecting devices when travelling or working outside the office. This episode focuses on practical, low-cost actions that support client confidentiality, professional obligations and compliance with minimum cybersecurity expectations. Topics & Timestamps: • 02:55 Common cybersecurity vulnerabilities in law firms • 04:44 Strong passwords, passphrases and password managers • 06:36 Why software updates matter for ransomware prevention • 08:28 Phishing red flags and business email compromise • 10:55 Social media hygiene and over sharing risks • 12:29 VPNs, public Wi−Fi and remote work security • 13:50 Securing devices when working outside the office • 15:12 Where to find trusted cybersecurity resources Key Takeaways: • Cybersecurity risk often comes from small, routine decisions rather than major system failures • Law practices are high-value targets because of the sensitive information they hold • Long, memorable passphrases and password managers reduce password-related breaches • Keeping systems updated is a critical defence against ransomware • Urgency, impersonation and unusual requests are key phishing warning signs • Simple habits like pausing to verify requests prevent costly cyber incidents Resources & Links: • LIV Cybersecurity Hub – Centralised guidance and CPD resources for practitioners | https://www.liv.asn.au/cybersecurityhub (https://www.liv.asn.au/cybersecurityhub) • Law Institute Journal – Cybersecurity and professional obligations – Editorial analysis linking cyber risk to legal duties | https://www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2024/09september/practice_management__securing_your_practice_from_cyber_risk.aspx (https://www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2024/09september/practice_management__securing_your_practice_from_cyber_risk.aspx) • VLSB+C Cybersecurity Guidance – Regulator guidance on why cybersecurity is a professional obligation | https://lsbc.vic.gov.au/lawyers/practising-law/cybersecurity (https://lsbc.vic.gov.au/lawyers/practising-law/cybersecurity) • Minimum Cybersecurity Expectations – VLSB+C standards for Victorian law practices | https://lsbc.vic.gov.au/lawyers/practising-law/cybersecurity/minimum-cybersecurity-expectations (https://lsbc.vic.gov.au/lawyers/practising-law/cybersecurity/minimum-cybersecurity-expectations) About This Podcast: Cross-Examined is a new podcast from the Law Institute of Victoria.

Cyber incident fallout: What happens when the proverbial bits hit the fan?
Episode Title: Cyber incident fallout: What happens when the proverbial bits hit the fan? Episode Summary: When a cyber breach strikes, the technical problems are only the beginning. In this episode, we examine cyber incident fallout and what really happens inside a law firm once an attack is discovered. From regulatory obligations to client conversations and reputational risk, this discussion unpacks the hard realities lawyers face in the aftermath of a breach. Guest: • Cameron Whittfield, Partner, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer • Specialist in cybersecurity, information security and emerging technology law • Market-leading adviser on major cyber incident response across Australia • www.linkedin.com/company/herbert-smith-freehills (www.linkedin.com/company/herbert-smith-freehills) • www.hsfkramer.com/our-people/c/cameron-whittfield (www.hsfkramer.com/our-people/c/cameron-whittfield) Host: • Jayne Gurton, Law Institute of Victoria • podcasts@liv.asn.au (mailto:podcasts@liv.asn.au) | https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria (https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria) Episode Overview: Cyber incidents are no longer rare occurrences for law firms, but an inevitable eventuality with long-lasting consequences. This episode focuses on cyber incident fallout and the legal and human challenges that follow a breach. Cameron Whittfield explains what those first chaotic hours in the aftermath of a cyber incident look like, why early decisions on communications and privilege are so difficult to undo, and what regulatory obligations such as the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme need to be planned for and actioned. .

Sheep in wolf’s clothing: How white hat hackers and pen testing help stop hacks
Episode Summary: Many law firms make a heavy investment in cybersecurity tech, and yet attackers can simply walk straight through their front door. This episode exposes how ethical (and criminal) hackers think and act, revealing why human trust and everyday routines are often a real vulnerability attackers’ exploit. This episode pulls back the curtain on penetration testing, and the white hat hackers who help firms fix weaknesses before criminals can exploit them. Guest: • James Thompson, Director, principal cybersecurity consultant and penetration tester, Malware Security • More than 20 years’ experience testing government, defence and critical infrastructure networks • Specialist in offensive security, social engineering and red team engagements • www.linkedin.com/in/cyberjt (www.linkedin.com/in/cyberjt) • www.malsec.com.au (www.malsec.com.au ) Host: • Jayne Gurton, Law Institute of Victoria • podcasts@liv.asn.au (mailto:podcasts@liv.asn.au) | https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria (https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria) Episode Overview: Securing a law firm from cyber attacks must take into account not just technology, but the physical environment as well. In this episode, penetration testing expert James Thompson explains what really happens when an organisation hires a pen tester and how cyber breaches can come through the front door as well as a link in an email. The discussion unpacks penetration testing, red team engagements and social engineering attacks, with practical examples from professional services environments. Listeners will learn how ethical hackers exploit human behaviour, why organisations often fall within minutes of an initial breach and what law firms can do right now to reduce their attack surface. Topics & Timestamps: • 02:04 What is penetration testing • 04:40 Common vulnerabilities in office environments • 08:49 Real-world social engineering scenarios • 11:14 What happens after initial network access • 13:48 Practical steps firms can take immediately • 15:20 Choosing a penetration testing provider • 17:20 Emerging cyberthreats and AI-enabled attacks Key Takeaways: • Penetration testing combines technical skill with human manipulation to mirror real cyber attacks • Front desks, unlocked doors and helpful staff are common breach points • Many organisations are compromised within 15 to 30 minutes of initial access • Multi-factor authentication and reducing attack surface significantly raise the barrier • Not all vendors offering pen tests deliver genuine human-led testing • Regular testing and staff awareness are essential parts of cyber risk management Resources & Links: • Law Institute of Victoria cyber security resources – Practical guidance for legal practices | https://www.liv.asn.au/web/resource_knowledge_centre/cybersecurity-hub/web/content/resource_knowledge_centre/cybersecurity-hub.aspx (https://www.liv.asn.au/web/resource_knowledge_centre/cybersecurity-hub/web/content/resource_knowledge_centre/cybersecurity-hub.aspx ) • Law Institute Journal – Cyber risk and legal practice coverage | https://www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2025/02february/law_firms_and_cyber_risk.aspx | https://www.liv.asn.au/web/search_results_page.aspx?search=cyber (https://www.liv.asn.au/web/law_institute_journal_and_news/web/lij/year/2025/02february/law_firms_and_cyber_risk.aspx | https://www.liv.asn.au/web/search_results_page.aspx?search=cyber) • Australian Cyber Security Centre – Guidance for professional services | https://www.cyber.gov.au (https://www.cyber.gov.au) • Malware Security – Penetration testing and red team services | https://malsec.com.au (https://malsec.com.au) • Australian Signals Directorate Essential Eight – Baseline cyber security controls | https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/essential-cybersecurity/essential-eight (https://www.cyber.gov.au/resources-business-and-government/essential-cybersecurity/essential-eight) About This Podcast Cross-Examined is a new podcast from the Law Institute of Victoria.

Cybersecurity misconduct risks for Victorian lawyers
Episode Summary: Victorian lawyers are now being held to a minimum cybersecurity standard, and failure can lead to professional misconduct findings. This episode examines cybersecurity professional misconduct risks, what regulators expect in practice and how new privacy and ransomware laws raise the stakes for every firm, big or small. Guest: • Simone Herbert-Lowe, founder, Law & Cyber • Professional indemnity specialist with more than 30 years of legal experience • Expert at the intersection of cyber risk and legal professional responsibility • https://www.linkedin.com/in/simone-herbert-lowe/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/simone-herbert-lowe/) • https://www.lawandcyber.com.au (https://www.lawandcyber.com.au) Host: • Jayne Gurton, Law Institute of Victoria • podcasts@liv.asn.au (mailto:podcasts@liv.asn.au) | https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria (https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria) Episode Overview: Cyber risk has moved from an abstract IT issue to a core professional responsibility for Victorian lawyers. In this episode, we examine cybersecurity professional misconduct through the lens of recent court decisions, regulatory guidance and real-world claims experience. Simone Herbert-Lowe explains how the “reasonable practitioner” standard is being applied in 2026, why human behaviour remains the weakest link in law firm security, and how small and mid-sized practices are often more exposed than large firms. The discussion also unpacks the VLSB+C minimum cybersecurity expectations, the expanded reach of the Privacy Act through AML/CTF obligations, and the impact of new laws on ransomware reporting and serious invasions of privacy. Listeners will gain practical guidance on what compliance looks like in day-to-day legal practice and where to focus limited time and resources. Topics & Timestamps: • 00:12 Why cybersecurity failures can now amount to professional misconduct • 01:25 Recent court cases shaping cyber risk expectations • 04:44 Why small firms are attractive cyber targets • 06:48 Behavioural breaches and human error in law firms • 09:26 The “reasonable practitioner” standard in 2026 • 12:38 Cloud services, offshore data and Privacy Act obligations • 14:21 Ransomware reporting and the statutory privacy tort • 16:29 Practical actions firms should take this week Key Takeaways: • Cybersecurity failures can now trigger findings of unsatisfactory professional conduct or misconduct. • Small and sole practices are as at risk as large firms. • Human behaviour, not technology, is behind many serious breaches. • The VLSB+C minimum cybersecurity expectations set a clear baseline for Victorian lawyers. • Privacy Act obligations can apply regardless of firm size through AML/CTF requirements. • Principals must be able to demonstrate practical, documented cyber controls.

The psychology behind scams – why cybersecurity is about people, not tech
Episode Summary: Most cyber breaches are not technology failures. They are psychological successes. In this episode, cybersecurity psychology takes centre stage as Dr James Carlopio explains how scammers exploit human instinct, habit and urgency, and what lawyers can do to build safer cyber cultures. Guest: Dr James Carlopio, psychologist and co-founder, Cultural Cyber Security PhD in organisational psychology Expert in cyber psychology, social engineering and cultural approaches to cyber risk https://au.linkedin.com/in/jamescarlopio (https://au.linkedin.com/in/jamescarlopio) https://www.culturalcybersecurity.com/james-carlopio-ccs (https://www.culturalcybersecurity.com/james-carlopio-ccs) Host: Jayne Gurton, Law Institute of Victoria podcasts@liv.asn.au (mailto:podcasts@liv.asn.au) | https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria (https://www.linkedin.com/company/law-institute-of-victoria) Episode Overview: Cybersecurity psychology explains why most breaches occur even in organisations with strong technical controls. In this episode, Dr James Carlopio explores how social engineering, phishing scams and AI-driven deepfakes exploit hardwired human instincts rather than technical weaknesses. Drawing on real-world examples, James explains why awareness alone is not enough, and why behaviour change requires skills, repetition and cultural leadership. Legal practitioners will gain practical insights into reducing cyber risk through everyday habits, verification practices and leadership role modelling, with a focus on making cybersecurity personal, relevant and embedded in day-to-day legal practice.

How AI in legal supervision is changing lawyer training
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how junior lawyers develop core legal skills and how they are supervised and mentored. In this episode, Allens’ Lisa Kozaris and Caitlin Dagher share how AI in legal supervision has minimised the grunt work, created space for higher value thinking and changed the dynamics of the mentorship between senior and junior lawyers. Tune in to hear some real-life examples from inside one of Australia’s largest law firms, including programs to improve digital literacy, and why open conversations about AI matter for building confidence and good judgment. The episode also offers practical advice about how firms can support experimentation, set clear boundaries and recognise the digital strengths junior lawyers bring to legal practice. This is essential listening for practices big and small developing the next generation of lawyers in a rapidly changing profession. Guest: Lisa Kozaris, Chief Innovation and Legal Solutions Officer at Allens www.linkedin.com/in/lisakozaris/ (http://www.linkedin.com/in/lisakozaris/) Caitlin Dagher, Associate in Disputes and Investigations at Allens and a recent graduate www.linkedin.com/in/caitlin-dagher-15450b138/ (http://www.linkedin.com/in/caitlin-dagher-15450b138/) Host: Karen Finch, Head of Legal Policy and Innovation, Law Institute of Victoria kfinch@liv.asn.au (mailto:kfinch@liv.asn.au) | www.linkedin.com/in/karen-finch (http://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-finch/) Episode Overview This episode explores how AI is reshaping legal supervision, training and young lawyer development. Lisa Kozaris, Chief Innovation and Legal Solutions Officer at Allens, and Caitlin Dagher, Associate in Disputes & Investigations, share insights on how the profession is shifting as traditional manual tasks that once defined early legal careers are increasingly automated. Despite profound technological shifts brought about by legal artificial intelligence technology, foundational legal skills – such as critical thinking, legal analysis and strategic reasoning – remain irreplaceable. Rather than diminishing these abilities, AI tools help accelerate the early, manual stages of legal work, allowing juniors to focus on high-value tasks. Allens has prioritised digital learning for lawyers, integrating new ways of working into its core legal training programs and adopting both general purpose and legal-specific AI tools into its practice. As the use of technology becomes more integrated into its practice, the importance of open, transparent conversations about mentoring and AI use become increasingly more important. The benefits flow both ways, and firms can reap huge benefits from today’s junior lawyers status as digital natives who are eager to test out the latest AI tools and confident in applying technology in the workplace in new and interesting ways. Topics & Timestamps: [00:20] Intro and guest welcome [02:02] How young lawyers’ skill development has changed with AI [05:20] The key to using AI well in a practice [08:03] How AI affects a mentor relationship [10:57] What AI tools and programs Allens has implemented [12:29] How senior lawyers can ensure AI skill development in juniors [14:48] Valuing junior lawyer digital skill sets [18:30] AI skill building compared to billable work Key Takeaways: AI is changing how junior lawyers learn, but not what they learn, with critical thinking skills still at the core of their development. Including AI in mentorship conversations can make its use more transparent, collaborative and effective. Digital literacy is now a fundamental legal skill, and firms should be encouraged to embed AI training into their practice for lawyers at all levels. Learning by doing is the most effective way to develop AI capabilities. Junior lawyers often bring fresh AI insight and capabilities, which senior lawyers could benefit from embracing.

AI and the Legal System: Bias, transparency and ethics
This episode examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping legal practice and the broader justice system. University of Melbourne Professor Jeannie Marie Paterson explores both the promise and the pitfalls – highlighting how AI can boost efficiency gains while raising critical questions about governance, transparency and the need for sustained human oversight. Drawing on real-word failures, she explains how opaque systems can embed bias and produce hallucinations that undermine legal ethics. The conversation also considers how regulation, professional responsibility and improved AI design can ethically enhance the legal system. Guest: Jeannie Marie Paterson, Professor of Consumer Protection and Technology Law at the University of Melbourne and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Law Co-founding Director of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics (CAIDE) https://law.unimelb.edu.au/about/staff/jeannie-paterson (https://law.unimelb.edu.au/about/staff/jeannie-paterson) | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeannie-marie-paterson-225b4a33 (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeannie-marie-paterson-225b4a33) Host: Karen Finch, Head of Legal Policy and Innovation, Law Institute of Victoria kfinch@liv.asn.au (mailto:kfinch@liv.asn.au) | www.linkedin.com/in/karen-finch (http://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-finch/) Episode Overview This episode explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping legal practice and the broader justice system. University of Melbourne Law Professor Jeannie Marie Paterson discusses both the promise and the pitfalls of AI, highlighting efficiency gains in tasks like document review and research, while stressing the need for strong governance, transparency and ongoing human oversight. The conversation examines real-world failures such as Robodebt and COMPAS, illustrating how opaque systems can embed bias and undermine legal ethics. Jeannie also addresses the growing issue of AI hallucinations, which can produce convincing but false legal information, reinforcing the importance of rigorous verification by lawyers. The episode considers how regulation, professional responsibility and improved AI design can support more responsible use of technology, as well as whether AI can improve access to justice and ethically enhance the legal system. Topics & Timestamps [00:24] Intro and guest welcome [01:38] How AI is currently helping lawyers [03:42] Benefits and challenges of predictive AI [04:46] Lessons from the Robodebt and COMPAS scandals [07:15] The issue of hallucinations [10:38] The importance of accuracy and transparency [13:14] Regulation challenges [15:14] Can AI improve access to justice? [17:56] What separates lawyers’ skills from AI? [20:30] What the future of AI and the law looks like Key Takeaways: The opportunities for AI in law are almost unlimited, but most of the profession’s attention is currently on tools that do document and low-level diagnostic work. Predictive AI in law is useful but raises a lot of risk because it can amplify existing historic biases. An algorithm is only as good as the data it is trained on, so lawyers need to be wary of outcomes being hallucinations. They may sound legitimate but have no factual basis. It is challenging to consider regulating AI while the profession is still working out how to use it. AI could assist lawyers to broaden the scope of the services they provide. Whatever the future of AI use in the legal system, it must be used in a way that is ethical, responsible and transparent.

Wired for Justice: AI in the Victorian court system
Are “robo-judges” fuelled by artificial intelligence set to decide cases in Victorian courts? Absolutely not, according to The Honourable Richard Niall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria, but AI technology does present significant opportunities for the judicial system. In this conversation, we delve into how Victorian courts are already using artificial intelligence, including several promising pilot projects, as well as future opportunities for efficiency, staff wellbeing and cost reduction. We also discuss the risks, including hallucinated citations, deepfakes, data privacy and unlicensed legal practice. Guest: The Honourable Chief Justice Richard Niall of the Supreme Court of Victoria www.supremecourt.vic.gov.au (http://www.supremecourt.vic.gov.au/) Host: Karen Finch, Head of Legal Policy and Innovation, Law Institute of Victoria kfinch@liv.asn.au (mailto:kfinch@liv.asn.au) | www.linkedin.com/in/karen-finch (http://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-finch/) Episode Overview: In this episode of Cross-Examined, Chief Justice Richard Niall of the Supreme Court of Victoria discusses the early implementation of AI in the court system in Victoria and how legal technology and court innovation are beginning to align in promising ways. One example of experimental AI use is the pilot program at the Coroner’s Court, which uses tech to summarise large volumes of frequently traumatic statements to speed up investigations and reduce staff exposure to distressing material. Another is the judicial use of AI in Supreme Court’s exploratory work, where AI is used to assist judges with tasks like identifying competing arguments and summarising evidence. The Chief Justice points to other opportunities of technology, including reduction in legal costs and facilitating broader access to justice for the Victorian community. The risks of AI in legal practice are very real and widespread, including hallucinated citations, deepfakes, privacy concerns and unlicensed legal practice. The Chief Justice calls for a measured and careful approach to AI adoption, while also emphasising that AI must only ever augment, never replace, human analysis and judgment in decision making. Topics & Timestamps: [00:24] Intro and guest welcome [02:07] Current level of AI adoption in the Victorian justice system [04:36] AI pilot projects under way in Victorian courts [11:35] Hallucinations, deepfakes and unlicensed legal practice [25:05] The role of the judge in an era of AI [33:54] How AI could influence costs and access to justice [35:44] The future of AI and the law Key Takeaways: Victoria is taking a careful but optimistic approach to implementing AI in courts and tribunals. AI is already being tested in Victorian courts, including a pilot in the Coroner’s Court that uses AI to summarise case material. The Supreme Court is testing AI on completed cases to help summarise evidence or identify key issues. The dangers of using AI in the legal system include hallucinated case citations, deepfakes, privacy concerns and unlicensed legal practice using AI tools. AI policies must remain technology‑agnostic and flexible, so they don’t become obsolete as AI capabilities rapidly advance. AI must augment, not replace, judicial decision making.
