On this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Clifford Chance’s newly qualified associate Max Beavis about his longstanding ambition to work overseas as a lawyer, broaching the conversation with one’s employer about the possibility of making such a move, whether there is a particular approach that lawyers should take when having those conversations or a right time to do so, and how those conversations might go as we move out of the age of coronavirus.

Mr Beavis also discusses his experiences of living in London, staying on top of his health and wellbeing while living across the world from his friends and family, what his day-to-day looks like, whether there are lots of Australian lawyers coming back to the UK post-pandemic, whether the mainstreaming of virtual work means young lawyers can get the same international experience from their homes, and other advice he would offer to new practitioners considering such moves.
