In this episode of the Beyond Billables podcast, we talk with Dave Bushby. He is the managing director of Lexoo Australia, an online legal marketplace that connects top-tier legal experts with clients, without the high price tag. Dave is also the founder of Law Hackers, a weekly newsletter that he puts together that curates the best of legal tech and news of startup happenings in the legal sector. Early on in his career, he gained his experience in law dealing with real estate.
With a significant transition and merging of his interests in law and technology throughout his career, we talked with Dave about law life but also the importance of setting your own boundaries at work to cultivate a happy life.
