By Jerome Doraisamy|18 February 2021
When Rebecca Murray moved to Washington, DC and continued to operate her Queensland-based firm, she was worried she’d lose clients. Not only did that not happen, but she also became an award-winning sole practitioner.
In October of last year, Lawyers Weekly spoke to Cornwalls senior associate Sarah Bullock – who won Senior Associate of the Year at the 2020 Australian Law Awards – about her 16-month stint working for her firm from Canada. In that conversation, Ms Bullock explained why remote work from overseas is viable for more lawyers most-pandemic, and advised lawyers how they can successfully pitch an employer for such a working arrangement.
