Where does Legalwise Seminars see itself in the Australian market at this point in time?
What has been the company’s growth trajectory in recent years, particularly against the backdrop of the global pandemic?
From large conferences to more intimate workshops, COVID-19 caused an unprecedented disruption in the way we planned and delivered programs. However, one constant remained, and that was the professional need for timely and up-to-date information. In those initial days of the pandemic, our team quickly adapted to ensure programs were offered in an accessible online format and were curated in response to the acceleration in regulation during that time. From workplace relations to migration law, corporations and financial services, our job is to ensure the legal profession has access to programs detailing the practical ramifications of ever-growing regulation, and fast.
What are the goals for Legalwise Seminars in 2024 and beyond, and how do you plan to achieve those?
Our vision is to be the Netflix of legal content and provide professionals with the right information at the right time via the right format. We currently offer individuals and organisations subscriptions, which are proving to be very popular, and our subscriber base has experienced remarkable growth, attesting to the value of our legal content.
