Demetrio Zema founded Law Squared after he recognised that his peers were starting new business ventures without legal support. He set out to change this by building a business that would partner with its clients to provide legal support in a proactive and cost-effective way. Not only did he do this, he also established what has since been recognised as Australia’s most innovative law firm.  

We couldn’t possibly cover everything there is to know about Australia’s most innovative law firm in 30 minutes, so we focus on 3 things: how Law Squared put their clients at the centre of everything they do; the firm’s independent advisory board; and how Law Squared are embracing technology.
