In this episode of Inside Safety, presenters Nerida Jessup and Olga Klimczak examine the evolving legal and regulatory landscape surrounding silica exposure and the associated risk of silicosis. With recent developments shifting the framework from workplace exposure standards to workplace exposure limits, the episode offers timely insights into how these changes affect compliance, risk management, and health outcomes – particularly in high-risk sectors like manufacturing and mining.

The discussion also draws on historical parallels, such as asbestos, to explore what the future may hold for silica regulation. With the establishment of a dedicated regulatory silica taskforce, the presenters highlight emerging guidance and enforcement trends that are shaping workplace safety. Whether you're advising on policy, managing operations, or working on the ground, this episode provides essential context for navigating silica-related risks in today’s industrial environments.

Following new amendments to Australian anti-bribery and corruption laws introduced in September 2024, HSF Kramer Partners Leon Chung, Tania Gray and Eunice Park delve further into the offence and what Australian corporates should do if they find themselves in a foreign bribery situation and practical steps organisations can take to address risks. We are joined by HSF Kramer London Partner Kate Meakin to share practical insights from the United Kingdom’s experiences with similar laws.

In this episode, we talk about Practice Statement 36 which has recently been published by the UK Takeover Panel on unlisted share alternatives.

Topics we discuss include:

• what terms for an unlisted share alternative are acceptable, and what is not acceptable;
• what rights can be attached to the shares; and
• the disclosure required.

In this episode of Inside IR, Rohan Doyle is joined by partners Anthony Wood and Wendy Fauvel to look ahead to the Federal Government's upcoming August 2025 Productivity Summit.

In this episode, we cross examine Tamir Maltz, Barrister at 12 Wentworth Selborne Chambers, Sydney.

It would be hard to argue that there is anyone more experienced in cyber injunctions in Australia than Tamir.

With over 20 years of experience, Tamir provides strategic legal advice and robust representation to clients across a variety of sectors including corporate, construction, property and technology. Tamir’s career highlights include securing the first Australian injunction against a foreign hacking group.

In this podcast we talk about the motivation behind the injunction initiative, the pros / cons and how the courts are viewing these arrangements. We also look at the client benefits and when they are best utilised. Who better to explain this than the individual who first implemented this initiative here in Australia (and the leading barrister in this space).
