The Corporate Counsel Show: An extraordinary life and legal career

Tanya Heaslip grew up on a cattle station in Central Australia.

On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by author and freelance in-house commercial and legal adviser Tanya Heaslip to discuss her upbringing on a remote cattle station, attending School of the Air and how such education gave her a unique grounding for legal studies, and her journey from working on a major national inquiry to then moving to the Eastern Bloc after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

 
 

Ms Heaslip also details her experiences of penning three books about being a girl from Alice Springs, the lessons her uncommon life and career have taught her, and what other corporate counsel can learn, particularly in such a turbulent age.
