Show Notes

In this episode of FLPA TALKS: A Family Law Podcast, host Emily Ownsworth sits down with family law solicitors Ellie Neuendorf and Jack Shaw to unpack their pivotal first year of working in a family law firm —how they navigated the emotional weight of family law cases, leaned into mentorship and firm culture, and gradually built their professional identity amidst client worries and deadlines.

Through relatable stories and candid insights, Ellie and Jack offer valuable lessons on resilience, connection, self-care, and the often-unspoken challenges of starting out in a firm—all delivered with empathy, honesty, and practical advice for new lawyers.
