🚨 LEGALLY ON THE MOVE: DUBAI — THAT'S A WRAP! 🇦🇪
AND NEXT STOP? IBIZA. 🇪🇸

What. A. Journey.

Over the past few weeks, the Legally Speaking Podcast ™️️, sponsored by Clio - Cloud-Based Legal Technology, took things to a whole new level with our first-ever global miniseries filmed in one of the world’s most dynamic legal hubs: Dubai.

And we didn’t just talk about change.
We experienced it.

🎥 We filmed across the city—from the DIFC to Palm Jumeirah, and even aboard a yacht circling Dubai Marina.

Each location matched the energy of the stories we uncovered—bold, fast-paced, and full of opportunity.

We sat down with lawyers, legal innovators, founders, technologists, managing partners, GCs, mentors, and career-changers to talk:

💡 Legal tech and AI adoption
💡 Career transformation and reinvention
💡 Startup law, VC, compliance, legal ops
💡 Inclusion, diversity, and building bold legal brands
💡 Cultural intelligence and making law human again

✨ The big takeaways?

✔️ Dubai isn’t the future of law—it’s already leading it.
✔️ Legal careers aren’t linear anymore—there are more ways to grow than ever before.
✔️ Trust, leadership, and adaptability are essential to meaningful innovation.
✔️ Community is everything. Those creating safe, inclusive, human-led legal spaces will shape the next era.

🎥 To close out the series, we brought together returning favourites Chrissie Wolfe, Sahar Farooqi, and Sarah Murphy for a powerful panel filmed from a yacht on careers, culture, and opportunity in the UAE.

💬 When asked to describe Dubai in one word:

Chrissie: Progress

Sahar: Opportunity

Sarah: Innovation
