Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Marketing for Lawyers and Building a Personal Brand on LinkedIn with Helen Burness
Q: Why do many lawyers get LinkedIn wrong, and why might the platform matter more than they realize?
The guest explains that the shift from centralized marketing to a personal, opinion-driven presence is essential; lawyers must articulate a point of view, understand their audience, and balance professional content with human, relatable posts to cut through the noise and drive meaningful engagement and inbound opportunities.
Chris Duffy on Sports Law and Legal Challenges in Global Sport
Q: If someone is listening who hasn't thought about sports law as a career option, what advice would you have for getting into it and what skills should they develop?
Build hands-on experience in related work, seek to review or draft endorsement contracts, pursue extracurricular opportunities like volunteering or charity trusteeships, network broadly, attend events, and be proactive in seeking affordable, scalable legal support models for smaller organizations.
Chris Duffy on Sports Law and Legal Challenges in Global Sport
Q: Is the role of a sports lawyer the same across different sports or would you be a specialist in a particular sport?
There is nuance across sports, but core terms and concepts—contracts, sponsorships, and regulatory compliance—tend to be transferable. The specifics depend on the discipline, governing bodies, and the sport's unique regulatory landscape.
Chris Duffy on Sports Law and Legal Challenges in Global Sport
Q: First of all, I wanted to start with a broad question around being a sports lawyer and sports law in itself. What does sports law look like day to day?
Sports law isn't a single specialty; it's a blend of commercial contracts, employment, IP/brand protection, governance, event and sponsorship work, and increasingly litigation. The day-to-day varies by role and sport and often requires wearing multiple hats within a single organization.
AI, Lawtech and the Future of Legal Practice with Christina Blacklaws
Q: How can law firms balance innovation with ensuring access to justice, especially in rural areas?
She explains that combining lawtech with not-for-profit and charitable efforts can expand self-help and access to justice, while acknowledging infrastructure and digital divide challenges; the goal is to reduce the justice gap while maintaining practical support structures.
