About me
I’m Luke. I’m a senior dispute resolution lawyer (Special Counsel) at Clayton Utz, a non-executive director of the Brisbane Powerhouse and Effective Altruism Australia, and former CEO and and board director of Out for Australia. I graduated from the University of Queensland in 2013 with a Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws and from the University of Sydney in 2016 with a Master of Laws.
My passions are talking about the law and about leadership.
I write about ideas and conversations that I have on how to make lawyers and other young professionals better, happier and more fulfilled. I am also a regular speaker on personal development and diversity and inclusion initiatives and was a keynote speaker at the 2021 TEDxUQ conference.
My articles and opinions are my own, but I acknowledge my family and friends that provide great support and advice to make each article better than the last.
Drop me a line on LinkedIn if you want to get in touch about:
- Any legal topics.
- Any diversity & inclusion topics.
- Requests to speak and write.
- Requests for board and committee work.
