Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Humphrey about his journey in law, how and why he’s looked to non-lawyers to help build the right law firm culture, why getting culture right is so difficult for firms right now, the challenges facing firm leaders, where he wants Hamilton Locke to be in years to come, and the latest on the firm’s suggestion to float on the ASX.

 
 

Humphrey also delves into the prospect of private equity investments and employee share arrangements for law firms, building institutional loyalty with staff, how HPX’s other brands are performing, adapting to changing economic and geopolitical shifts, the “hourglass effect” on firms in the middle of the legal services marketplace, whether the firm has further global ambitions, and his broader thoughts on the market in the years ahead.
