S
am Burrett isn’t your typical lawyer. Once a gym owner and today a lawyer by training, Sam calls himself ‘a relationship builder and entrepreneur at heart’. Working at the intersection of law, technology and business, Sam is passionate about progressing the legal industry by advocating for progressive legal business models and integrated legal technology. Sam’s work at Plexus is centered around building Australia’s leading dynamic legal resourcing firm, and he also previously worked at LegalVision, a commercial law firm disrupting the market with its commitment to innovation.
28 | The Brief
I caught up with Sam to discuss his passion for doing law differently, what changes the legal profession is facing in light of technological advancements, and how best Macquarie law students can equip themselves with the skills required to thrive in a changing legal landscape. The Brief would like to thank Sam for his time, and his invaluable insight into NewLaw and the intersections between law and technology.
