MOMENTUM MEDIA
About this episode

For Maria Savvas, the best way to see change in the legal profession has been to roll up her sleeves and do the work to achieve it.

In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by outgoing president of the Law Society of the Northern Territory, Maria Savvas, to discuss her career to date as a sole practitioner, her tenure with member associations and juggling the aforementioned responsibilities with family and other commitments.

The pair also talk about the importance of getting involved in extracurriculars as a lawyer and how it makes one a better legal professional, the looming challenges for practitioners in the territory and what Maria has learned about herself, both personally and professionally.
