In a recent episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Grace Robbie speaks with Kate Redman, the director and principal solicitor of Kate Redman & Associates, about her remarkable journey of launching her practice in just six weeks despite never having previously envisioned running a firm. Redman reflects on the mindset shift and self-belief that made it possible and shares insights into balancing the intense demands of starting a business with the realities of personal commitments and parenthood.

This content is available exclusively to Lawyers Weekly premium members.
Redman also reveals the key priorities she focused on to open her firm within such a tight time frame, unpacks the biggest challenges she encountered along the way, reflects on the importance of turning lived experience into practical lessons, offers candid advice for lawyers considering taking the leap into firm ownership, and weighs in on whether she would recommend launching a practice under similarly intense time pressure.
