Welcome to Friends in Law

A podcast
about lawyers,

for lawyers.

Graduating from an LLB (or any other degree for that matter) doesn't come with a manual on how to reach the heights of professional success.

Instead we often look to those around us in the hope their experiences and failings will help us negotiate some of the most pivotal moments in our careers.

Join Alex Correa and her friends in law...

... as they share their very candid and personal stories about why they do what they do and how they've found their own way to thrive, in and outside of lawyering.

What makes someone choose you when there are ten other people offering the same service? In this episode of Friends in Law, Alex sits down with Jason from Superpower Portraits for a conversation about branding, belief, differentiation, and why trust is not something you manufacture, but something that grows when you remove uncertainty. Jason shares how one awkward meeting in Dubai forced him to confront a hard truth. He knew his work mattered, but he couldn’t clearly explain why. That moment sent him down a much deeper path, figuring out how to communicate not just what he does, but what sits underneath it. The values, beliefs, and personal convictions that make someone’s work feel distinctive rather than just competent. Together, Alex and Jason explore what this means for lawyers, especially in a profession where so much communication sounds polished, credible, and technically strong, but often feels interchangeable. They unpack why credentials and expertise are only the baseline, how lawyers can communicate the human outcome of their work, and why the strongest professional brands are built not on performance, but on clarity. From client relationships and interviews to bios, websites, and personal positioning, this episode is a thoughtful look at what it really means to connect with people in a way that feels honest, memorable, and aligned. Jason also shares why he thinks confidence is overrated, why “trusted advisor” is not the goal, and how asking better questions about belief, identity, and feeling can completely shift the way you talk about your work. If you have ever struggled to explain your value without sounding rehearsed, overly polished, or like everyone else in your field, this conversation is for you.

Do you remember when lawyers didn’t even have computers at their desks? (pre-90's that would be!) The opportunity for robotics and automation and how that will impact the future of work is an issue across all industries, including the law. Alister Fitzgerald, CEO and founder of Field, is at the forefront, providing a digital platform that is already reshaping legal work within the property industry. But can technology reduce the all-consuming nature of being a lawyer and make for a more sustainable, enjoyable career? TOPICS The Future of Law and automation Legal tech, client delivery, and career fulfilment Partnership, big law, and life outside of private practice Lawyers who are entrepreneurs “I'm very interested in technology and how it can change the way things operate for the better. I'm a systems person, and not in the sense necessarily of the micro level, but I like things that should connect to work better.” “I don’t think everyone needs to know how to be an expert software developer but the threshold to learn to do some simple coding isn't that high. And I think they're probably skills that are useful, if only to have an understanding and empathy for people who are going to be very relevant in the profession.” “(By 2050) I can't imagine lawyers doing what lawyers do now .. but I would hope that the thinking and the intellect and the morality of the processes that find themselves into software are directed by people with similar intelligence and application in the legal profession as they do now.”
