Australian lawyers have joined the ranks of sixteen visionary lawyers from around the world who have shared their stories in a new book released this week.

Simon Tupman's Legal Eagles features stories from Julian Burnside AO QC, Slater & Gordon's managing director Andrew Grech and Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick.

These Australians form three of the 16 global stories from what Tupman describes as visionary lawyers who are making a difference around the world.

Interviewed by Tupman, they share their career insights and offer some secrets behind their success.

Tupman received a recommendation from Professor Richard Susskind, author of The End of Lawyers, for his work and will MC the Australian Corporate Lawyer Association's national conference next week.
