By Emma Ryan|04 March 2021
A NewLaw firm has its sights set on the fintech space, launching a new partnership that aims to assist in navigating the “tricky” regulatory environment.
Law Squared has officially signed on as an ecosystem partner of FinTech Australia. The partnership gives Law Squared the ability to become a key resource for local fintechs on all legal matters – from capital raises to navigating complex financial services regulation.
Speaking to Lawyers Weekly about the partnership, Law Squared founder and director Demetrio Zema noted how the increasingly difficult regulatory landscape has made it crucial for fintech businesses to engage law firms.
3 firms before 33: How this lawyer did it
By Emma Ryan|04 March 2021
A “no frills” approach has led one young lawyer to make her mark in Queensland, establishing three offices in her early 30s.
Thirty-two-year-old Courtney Lockett has decided to forgo the “traditional model of blue chip and top-tier law firms” by setting up a chain of local legal practices across suburban Queensland.
So far, Ms Lockett is the principal and owner of three Lockett McCullough Lawyers legal practices. She opened her first in Toowong four years ago, followed by an Albany Creek practice and then Noosa earlier this year.
Collectively, Lockett McCullough Lawyers now employs a team of 12, serving upwards of 3,000 clients a year, according to Ms Lockett.
