The Boutique Lawyer Show: Why directorships make you a better firm leader
Lawyers “have an obligation to give back”, Paula Robinson argues. Not only it is incumbent upon practitioners to use their privilege for good, she says, but it also helps them better serve their clients and businesses.

On this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Ailier principal Paula Robinson – who is also chair of the Queensland Academy of Sport Advisory Board, chair of Tennis Australia’s National Gender Equality Task force, vice-president of Football Queensland and former vice-president of Tennis Queensland – to discuss why wearing numerous hats and garnering executive experience can be critical to one’s success as a boutique firm leader.
The pair delve into Ms Robinson’s journey as a management executive prior to her legal career, how such experience served her in legal practice, how she balances wearing so many hats, the importance of giving back, and the practical steps that other firm owners can take to garner such executive experience.
