Show notes
Where is the next generation of conveyancers coming from, and is the profession doing enough to prepare them?
Hosted by Angelique Opie, Property Editor at Seven News Sydney, the episode brings together:
- Kiani Mills, Director of Imperiale Conveyancing
- Renee Roumanos, Principal Solicitor at Renee Roumanos Legal and founder of Conveyancing Mastery
- Michael Nancarrow, author, lecturer and Director of Conveyancing at Macquarie University
The discussion explores:
• whether there are enough education and training pathways into conveyancing
• the gap between formal qualifications and practical, on-the-job skills
• what firms actually look for when hiring graduates
• pay, flexibility, wellbeing and the changing expectations of the workforce
• whether Australia needs a nationally recognised conveyancing qualification
• the role of AI in training, client advice and the future of junior roles
• why human judgement, empathy and professional responsibility remain critical
The panel also examines the pressure on small practices to train new entrants, the importance of continuing professional development and how rapidly changing technology and regulation are reshaping the skills practitioners need.
