In this episode of More Thank Knowing The Law join LPLC’s Chief Risk Manager Heather Hibberd and Leadership Development Specialist Anna Hinder from Searl Street Consulting as they discuss how all practitioners, no matter their seniority, can benefit from good supervision.

How important is good supervision for risk management? Are good supervisors born or made? What are the red flags that indicate poor supervision? We’ll tackle these questions and more as LPLC’s Chief Risk Manager Heather Hibberd joins Anna Hinder from Searl Street Consulting. With over 20 years experience in HR, Anna specialises in developing the people and leadership skills of professionals.

Heather and Anna discuss how all practitioners, no matter their seniority, can benefit from good supervision. Human error and the stresses of life can lead to avoidable mistakes and costly claims just as much as inexperience can - the support from a second pair of eyes can prevent these mistakes and should be a welcome part of law firm life. Building a culture of proactive supervision in your firm can help deliver quality work safely and support lifelong learning for all staff.

If you are a supervisor who wants to improve your own supervision techniques, or you're being supervised and you’d like to work with your supervisor to improve the process and outcomes this episode is for you!

We are united in our shock and sorrow following the horrific attacks that took place at Bondi Beach yesterday evening.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and all those who have been tragically affected by this abhorrent violence. This has particularly impacted the Jewish community of Sydney and across Australia, a community that is an integral and cherished part of our multicultural society.

We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and all who have been affected by this senseless violence. Everyone has the right to safety, security and freedom from fear.

We condemn these acts of antisemitism, extremism and violence in the strongest possible terms. We reaffirm our commitment to the rule of law, which underpins the safety and security of all in Australia.

We are united in our resolve that such acts of violence and hate will not undermine the values of inclusion and fundamental freedoms, including of religion and other rights, which define our community.
