TALK TO MY LAWYER EPISODE 7: Richard Khaldi

This week, I am excited to invite Richard Khaldi, Chambers Director of Maitland Chambers, into the studio to discuss career journeys, moving in and out of the law. Richard’s career path has been full of twists and turns, including working in government as a regulator 5 years into being a qualified lawyer, then moving to management consultancy, before coming full circle back to legal management.

In this episode, we also discuss:
·       The benefits of a business degree on working in law;
·       How being a lawyer helped the transition to working in government;
·       Nature vs nurture – where does the training and personality combine to form a lawyer’s risk averse attitude?;
·       The challenges of managing and delivering the best service when you don’t always need to be there in person;
·       Impact of AI on efficiency rather than instigating wholehearted change.

And stay tuned to hear about Richard’s involvement in a high profile case and the challenges of going up against a team 3/4 times the size of his.
