Show Notes

In this episode of FLPA Talks: A Family Law Podcast, we explore what it really takes to step out on your own and establish a family law practice.

Host Shannon Daykin is joined by experienced Queensland family law solicitors Judy Stewart, Louise O’Reilly and Erin Shaw to discuss their journeys into practice ownership. Together, they reflect on the motivations behind their decisions, the different pathways they considered, and the realities of running their own firms.

The conversation covers the challenges and rewards of going out on your own, practical insights from the transition, and the lessons they have learned along the way - including some of their personal keys to success.

Whether you are actively considering starting your own firm or simply curious about what practice ownership involves, this episode offers valuable perspectives from those who have done it.
