This NAIDOC Week, we have celebrated the theme Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud across our Australian offices. Keep the Fire Burning! celebrates the unyielding spirit of our communities and invites all to stand together. Through our collective efforts, we can forge a future where the stories, traditions, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are cherished and celebrated, enriching the fabric of the nation with the oldest living culture in the world. In Warrane (Sydney) we thank GO Foundation - The Goodes O'Loughlin Foundation Scholar, Aurielle Smith for the live music, as we learnt more about the Goodes O’Loughlin Foundation, as they create opportunities for First Nations young people. In Narrm (Melbourne) we thank Ngiyampaa man and singer-songwriter Pirritu (Brett Lee), who joined us to share his music and storytelling. In Meeanjin (Brisbane) we thank Birrunga Gallery for hosting us at the Annual NAIDOC Week Walking Breakfast.

“Efficiency is a common theme across many potential uses of GenAI, but it is not the only objective,” our director of emerging technology Susannah Wilkinson has told Laurel Henning at Capital Brief. On our stack of technologies, Susannah said: “Similarly to how Herbert Smith Freehills has been using data analysis and other forms of AI in eDiscovery for many years, these tools allow us to draw out more insights from vast quantities of data available that can inform the advice we give to our clients”. “GenAI has the potential to transform a business process in a way that wasn’t previously possible, or commercial".

We are delighted to see Antony Williams' beautiful portrait, 'Jacqueline with Still Life', shortlisted in this year’s Portrait Award.

As we approach the announcement of the Herbert Smith Freehills Portrait Award winner, we are excited to introduce you to our shortlisted artists… For the final artist we have Antony Williams for ‘Jacqueline with Still Life’. Painted in Williams’ preferred medium, egg tempera, his shortlisted portrait depicts Jacqueline, a model with whom Williams has worked with for a number of years. This engaging work combines the artist’s interest in still life with a portrait subject, painted in the artist’s studio. While the still life doesn’t relate to the subject in any specific way, Williams sought to create an interesting dynamic between the table, objects and the sitter to create an implied narrative. 🎨 Jacqueline with Still Life, 2020 by Antony Williams © Antony Williams. 🤝 Supported by Herbert Smith Freehills

It's over. After six weeks' campaigning, the opposition Labour Party will today be installed as the UK's new government in the first full transfer of power in the G10 nation for 14 years. Having secured one of the largest Parliamentary majorities in British history, can the new administration bring stability to policy making and engage business at a time when the UK desperately needs private sector investment? Our policy head Paul Butcher rounds up the key issues and policies for business with a must-read resource for clients - https://lnkd.in/exvgfP6x #generalelection #policymatters #herbertsmithfreehills
