## The story

Claudio is a Corporate and Commercial Real Estate lawyer with more than a decade of experience between Brazil and Canada, with additional U.S. exposure through short study programs and a legal externship. He spent over three years at Duolingo in the startup and tech sector in a non-legal role.

His career began in procedural and administrative law, including a judicial clerkship at the Roraima Court of Appeal, where he developed technical expertise in real estate registry and public notary offices. He shared that knowledge as a university lecturer in business law. That foundation in property registration, fraud detection, and contract analysis still shapes his practice today.

In Canada he has worked at Atasoy Law, the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee, and currently at Northview Law. He supports corporate and commercial real estate files, has appeared before the Landlord and Tenant Board and Small Claims Court, has conducted research in charities law and international estate litigation, and has prepared firm marketing materials, trainings, and a podcast.

Earlier in his career, his U.S. exposure came through short academic programs and a legal externship in Arizona, where he assisted with high-stakes state law matters, including a capital punishment case. He was not admitted to practice law in the United States, but the experience crystallized his belief that legal practice deserves both technical rigor and human context.

Beyond practice, he founded Studying Law Around the World (https://studyinglawaroundtheworld.com/), a global legal podcast with 194 episodes and guests from 14 countries. He also completed the 75 Lawyers Project, interviewing 75 senior lawyers across Canada to support early-career professionals and celebrate the University of Toronto Faculty of Law's 75th anniversary.

He is also a researcher and a father. His research explores comparative legal systems, international legal mobility, professional regulation, legal storytelling, legal technology, and the role of communication in shaping the future of the profession.

## Recurring questions in the work

- How legal careers actually translate across systems, beyond official pathway documents.
- How small and mid-size firms adopt legal technology, what sticks and what gets abandoned.
- How charities and nonprofits are governed across borders, where Brazilian, U.S., and Canadian regimes line up and diverge.
- How comparative legal education shapes the next generation of lawyers.

## Credentials

- Global Professional Master of Laws, University of Toronto.
- Bachelor's in Law and International Relations, Brazil.

## Mission

To share real stories of legal education and careers across countries, helping law students and lawyers learn from each other and see new paths beyond their own systems.

## Vision

A more connected legal community where ideas, careers, and opportunities move across borders, and where lawyers feel confident building paths not limited by one country.

## Values

1. Authentic storytelling. Real journeys, not polished resumes.
2. Global perspective. Law is local, but careers are not.
3. Practical insight. Every conversation should leave the listener with something usable.
4. Accessibility. Make legal careers feel reachable across countries and systems.
5. Curiosity. Simple, direct questions that open deeper thinking.
6. Community over competition. Collaboration, mentorship, and shared growth over comparison.

## Studying Law Around the World (Podcast)

A CPD-accredited legal podcast exploring legal education and careers across borders. 194 episodes, with guests from 14 countries. Produced and hosted by Claudio Klaus. See the podcast page for details: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast

## 75 Years, 75 Stories (Booklet, University of Toronto)

During the 2024-25 academic year, Claudio set a goal to meet 75 University of Toronto Law alumni before graduation, to mark the Faculty's 75th anniversary. The conversations were compiled into a booklet published by the Faculty of Law in 2025.

## Difference between Studying Law Around the World and 75 Years, 75 Stories

They are two separate projects. Studying Law Around the World is the ongoing podcast, now in its fourth year, with 194 episodes and guests from 14 countries. 75 Years, 75 Stories was an academic project completed during the GPLLM at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, celebrating the school's 75th anniversary; Claudio conducted 75 conversations with alumni and the Faculty published the results as a booklet in 2025.

## Comparative Regulatory Systems (Research)

Comparing regulated sectors in Ontario, Canada, and Santa Catarina, Brazil, with a focus on sanitation, water law, and public utility regulation. Started because the gap between statutory ambition and on-the-ground delivery rarely shows up in single-jurisdiction scholarship.

## Cross-Border Corporate and Real Estate (Practice)

Supporting corporate transactions, commercial real estate, and charity law across Brazilian and Canadian practice, including prior experience at Duolingo in a non-legal role. Started because clients with operations across these jurisdictions still routinely hire two or three lawyers who do not talk to each other.

## Leadership roles

- Chair, International Communications Committee, J. Reuben Clark Law Society.
- Chair, Law Students Section, Canadian Bar Association.
- National Representative, Young Lawyers' Committee, International Bar Association.

## Water Law Judicial Decisions Dataset

A collection of scrapers for building a comparative dataset of water law judicial decisions across Brazil (27 state courts), Canada (federal and provincial courts via CanLII), and the Netherlands (Raad van State plus all 11 district courts via Rechtspraak.nl). Scope: 2016-2026. Cases collected: 83,596 decisions.

## Mastering Oral Advocacy, the Power of Public Service, and Following Your North Star with Karlson Leung

Published: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 02:55:18 GMT
Duration: 00:41:17
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/mastering-oral-advocacy-the-power-of-public-service-and-following-your-north-sta.md

What mistake do junior lawyers make because no one explained this? They assume that choosing a career in public service means giving up on high stakes courtroom experience, or they walk away from their dream path because the early years require navigating short term contracts. Legal careers are shaped less by credentials and more by communication, and no one teaches that early enough. I make that invisible part of the profession visible. This week on the podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Karlson Leung. Karlson brings a truly remarkable global background to the table. After earning a master's degree at the University of Oxford and a JD from the University of Toronto, his journey took him through the UK House of Commons, the United Nations in Beijing, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague, and prestigious barristers' chambers in London as a Harold G. Fox Scholar. Today, following years as a constitutional and civil litigator, he serves as a Special Advisor and Counsel at the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General (speaking on the show strictly in his personal capacity). We got into the art of English and Canadian courtroom advocacy, how international tribunals operate on the ground, and why a career in public service offers unmatched opportunities for young lawyers to carry their own files and make a tangible impact early on. The English advocacy bootcamp. As a Harold G. Fox Scholar in London, Karlson saw the UK's bifurcated legal system up close. He explains how British barristers operate as courtroom specialists, sometimes absorbing complex briefs just 48 hours before a hearing, and why the "five Ps" (proper preparation prevents poor performance) are the ultimate foundation of oral storytelling. Applying litigation skills to broader strategy. Moving from courtroom advocacy to high level advisory work requires a broader perspective. Discover how foundational litigation skills like risk mitigation, issue spotting, and negotiation translate directly into solving complex institutional puzzles and engaging community stakeholders. The public service advantage. Without the rigid constraints of private billable hours, public sector lawyers get the breathing room to think deeply about complex, meaningful legal issues. Karlson shares how public law allowed him to gain incredible on-your-feet experience, arguing before the Superior Court of Justice, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada in his very first year of practice. Guest: Karlson Leung, public sector lawyer, former Harold G. Fox Scholar, and international law researcher. Note: Karlson Leung appeared on this episode strictly in his personal capacity. Any views, thoughts, or opinions expressed during the conversation belong solely to him and do not represent the views or positions of his employer, the Ministry of the Attorney General, or the Government of Ontario.

## The ADHD Advantage, Inclusive Leadership, and Treating Your Career Like a Scientist with Sarah Ennor

Published: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 10:33:00 GMT
Duration: 00:27:43
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/the-adhd-advantage-inclusive-leadership-and-treating-your-career-like-a-scientis.md

This week on the podcast, I sat down with Sarah Ennor. Sarah is a non-practicing lawyer and the founder of Growth Council. After working in high pressure roles at Gowlings and BMO, a career pivot led to her ADHD diagnosis. She realized the traits she spent years masking were actually her greatest strengths. We talked about neurodiversity in the legal profession, why fear is a terrible motivational tool, and how leaders can build inclusive, high performing teams. The reality of ADHD. Sarah breaks down the clinical reality of ADHD. It is an impairment of executive function, not a lack of discipline. She explains how the ADHD brain operates on an interest based nervous system and why forcing it into traditional corporate boxes leads to burnout. The neurodiverse advantage. Neuroinclusion is a massive competitive advantage. Workplaces that successfully utilize neurodiverse talent achieve significantly higher revenue and profit margins because they benefit from high energy, creative problem solving, and the ability to spot connections others miss. The Ask, Listen, Believe method. If you manage people, stop trying to fix performance problems by micromanaging behavior. Instead, ask your team members what support they need, listen to their answers, and actually believe them. Focus on the outcome, not the rigid process used to get there. What is the unspoken rule here? The legal industry relies heavily on fear and panic as default motivational tools. For neurodivergent professionals, and honestly for everyone else, this environment is counterproductive and harmful. If you are a junior lawyer trying to force your brain to function in ways that actively hurt you, you are doing yourself a disservice. You must act as a scientist in your own career. Test different strategies and figure out what your specific brain needs to succeed. Do not shrink yourself to fit a traditional mold that was built decades ago. Give yourself grace. The legal profession makes everything feel urgent. Let go of the need for constant, perfectionist urgency and recognize that a lot of those pressures are entirely artificial. Focus on outcomes over optics. Professionalism should be defined by the quality of your work and your skills, not your adherence to rigid, outdated office behaviors. Bring your full self. The industry only changes when people stop hiding. By bringing your authentic, intersectional self to the workplace, you help build a richer and much more sustainable legal culture. Guest: Sarah Ennor , non-practicing lawyer, neuroinclusion speaker, and founder of Growth Council.

## Game Theory in Court, AI Arbitration Bias, and the T-Shaped Lawyer with Federico Ast

Published: Mon, 05 Oct 2026 09:54:00 GMT
Duration: 00:27:57
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/game-theory-in-court-ai-arbitration-bias-and-the-t-shaped-lawyer-with-federico-a.md

This week on the podcast, I sat down with Federico Ast. Federico is an economist, philosopher, and the founder of Kleros. He built a decentralized justice system that uses blockchain technology and game theory to resolve cross-border digital disputes online. We talked about crowdsourcing jurors like in ancient Athens, the terrifying reality of AI biases in arbitration, and why the next generation of lawyers must become "T-shaped" professionals to survive in a rapidly automating market. What you will learn Game theory in the courtroom. Discover how Kleros uses cryptographic tokens and financial incentives inspired by game theorist Thomas Schelling to guarantee that anonymous jurors evaluate evidence honestly and vote fairly by rewarding coherence with the majority. The AI bias problem. Federico ran a test comparing how two different versions of the same AI model resolved 99 real fintech disputes. Learn why one version heavily favored consumers based on written narratives, while a simple software update caused the AI to demand documentary proof and suddenly favor corporations. The T-shaped lawyer. Because artificial intelligence will soon handle the baseline task of knowing the law, lawyers must build a horizontal specialization. Learn why focusing on niche industries like esports, the metaverse, or tokenized intellectual property is the best way to future proof your career. Why this matters What mistake do junior lawyers make because no one explained this? They assume their primary professional value is memorizing legal rules. Federico points out that autonomous AI agents will soon handle the bulk of traditional legal analysis and processing. If your only skill is knowing the law, you will be outpaced by a software update. To survive in a market where justice can theoretically be delivered in under a day, you must transition from a generalist into an industry specialist. You must build a personal brand that generates human trust because clients will no longer hire you just for your legal knowledge. They will hire you for your judgment, your empathy, and your specific industry expertise. Three takeaways AI is a tool, not a judge. While artificial intelligence can deliver lightning fast initial assessments, fully automated binding arbitration is still a long way off. Human oversight remains essential to ensure legitimacy and catch algorithmic biases. Specialize immediately. Stop trying to be a generalist. Combine a strong vertical foundation in commercial law with a deep horizontal specialization in emerging digital markets. Build your brand in public. In a world increasingly run by algorithms and automated agents, human trust is your only remaining currency. Start producing content and sharing your insights publicly today to ensure clients know exactly who you are before they ever need to hire you.

## Building Your Craft, People-Centered Justice, and Cross-Border Human Rights with Milena Klimberg van Marrewijk

Published: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 01:04:56 GMT
Duration: 00:16:33
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/building-your-craft-people-centered-justice-and-cross-border-human-rights-with-m.md

This week on Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Milena Klimberg van Marrewijk. Milena is the program advisor on human rights and access to justice at the Cyrus R. Vance Center for International Law. Originally from Buenos Aires, she began her international career representing states in investment arbitration in Paris before deliberately transitioning into human rights litigation in New York. We talked about her work coordinating the Women in Prison Network across 30 countries, what it actually takes to build effective partnerships with grassroots organizations, and why mastering the technical craft of law is the ultimate differentiator for advocates. What you will learn The craft of international law. Milena explains why she started in big law investment arbitration. Representing states taught her how to build a legal record, draft rigorous arguments, and interpret treaties. These technical skills were the exact foundation she needed for high stakes human rights work. People centered justice. Traditional justice reform usually starts by looking at institutions. Learn how to flip the model and start with the actual, daily legal needs of individuals at the grassroots level. The Women in Prison Network. Women make up less than 10 percent of the global prison population, meaning facilities and procedures are designed entirely by default for men. Discover how Milena advocates for gender sensitive approaches to address the specific, systemic barriers incarcerated women face globally. Why this matters What is the unspoken rule here? Passion alone will not make you a great human rights lawyer. The field is full of highly committed people, but you will only stand out if you are an excellent, detail oriented technician under pressure. Junior lawyers often believe the path to international advocacy is a straight line, but Milena proves that the journey is non-linear. When you focus on building a rigorous legal craft, treating language fluency as a core career strategy, and securing reliable mentorship, you become incredibly hard to replace. Three takeaways Build your craft first. Passion is common, but technical excellence is rare. Your ability to draft impeccably, pay attention to detail, and operate effectively under pressure is what will actually move the needle for your clients. Languages are a career strategy. Being able to communicate across legal cultures and translate complex international law into accessible, everyday language opens doors that remain firmly closed to monolingual lawyers. Build genuine partnerships. Effective cross border advocacy never involves flying in, extracting information, and leaving. It requires building absolute trust with local organizations and matching your pro bono capacity to their actual, stated needs.

## The Sunk Cost Fallacy, Leaving the Law, and the Power of Storytelling with Shaun Bernstein

Published: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 13:04:10 GMT
Duration: 00:29:46
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/the-sunk-cost-fallacy-leaving-the-law-and-the-power-of-storytelling-with-shaun-b.md

Legal careers are shaped less by credentials and more by communication, and no one teaches that early enough. I make that invisible part of the profession visible. This week on the podcast, I sat down with Shaun Bernstein. Shaun is a journalist turned lawyer who eventually left practice entirely to found a ghostwriting and storytelling agency. After experiencing a severe mental health crisis while practicing employment law, he realized the traditional legal path was incompatible with his well-being. He walked away to build a thriving solopreneur business that helps professionals translate complex jargon into relatable stories. We got into the unspoken realities of mental health in the legal profession, why lawyers are traditionally terrible at marketing, and how to build a personal brand without sounding like a corporate robot. The Three-Week Rule: How to tell the difference between a tough file and a toxic career. If you are consistently miserable for three consecutive weeks, it is time to seriously evaluate your professional path. The most dangerous tool for a lawyer: The keyboard. Lawyers are trained to write for opposing counsel, resulting in dense, opaque prose. Shaun explains why writing at a fourth-grade level is not dumbing it down. It is the baseline for effective public communication. The issue-spotting strategy: Your content should not teach clients how to practice law. It should use storytelling to help them recognize their own problems early enough to call you before the situation explodes. What mistake do junior lawyers make because no one explained this? They fall for the sunk cost fallacy. They believe that because they invested years of their life into a law degree, they must suffer through a practice that actively destroys their mental health. Shaun’s journey is proof that your legal education is not a prison sentence. Your degree and intellect can be leveraged entirely outside of traditional practice to build a highly profitable, creatively fulfilling career. Furthermore, whether you stay in law or pivot, mastering clear, human to human communication is the only way to build a sustainable pipeline of clients. Stop writing for other lawyers. If your marketing materials sound like a legal brief, you are alienating the public. Use analogies and personal stories to connect with the actual people paying your bills. Lean into your origin story. Professional does not mean faceless. Clients hire people they know, like, and trust. Sharing the personal why behind your practice, your superhero origin story, makes you instantly memorable. Remember there is a way out. The legal industry often pays lip service to mental health while maintaining punishing expectations. If the environment is breaking you, you have permission to walk away. Utilize your Law Society or EAP resources to get immediate support, and start exploring alternative paths. Guest: Shaun Bernstein, former employment lawyer and founder of The Write Stuff Agency.

## The Sunk Cost Trap, the Mentor Deck, and the Science of Patent Law with Khadija Wilson

Published: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 09:30:00 GMT
Duration: 00:30:56
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/the-sunk-cost-trap-the-mentor-deck-and-the-science-of-patent-law-with-khadija-wi.md

This week on Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Khadija Wilson. Khadija holds a PhD in pharmacology, is currently a JD candidate at Temple Law, and is the founder of Rooted Advising. She shared her journey moving from Trinidad and Tobago to the United States and how she built a highly specialized career at the intersection of science and patent law. We got into the realities of being a first generation professional and the specific strategies required to navigate environments that were not originally built for you. What you will learn The mentor deck. Finding one senior partner is not a complete mentorship strategy. Khadija explains why you need to curate a diverse set of mentors across junior, mid, and senior levels to truly understand the unspoken mechanics of your organization. First principles thinking. Having a scientific background gives you the ability to operate in ambiguity. Discover how Khadija uses root cause troubleshooting and first principles thinking to overcome complex patent office rejections. The potluck of minds. As artificial intelligence changes the profession, you must clearly define your unique value proposition. Khadija breaks down how to identify the specific strengths you bring to the table that no one else can replicate. Why this matters What mistake do junior lawyers make because no one explained this? They fall into the sunk cost trap. They stay in stagnant, depleting roles simply because they invested time in getting there. They wait for their employers to dictate their professional ceiling. Khadija proves that you have to treat the workplace as a two way street. You have to establish your own boundaries, learn the art of managing up, and proactively ask for help when you are confused instead of suffering in silence. Three takeaways Stop surviving and start strategizing. Resilience is a great survival skill, but it is not a long term career strategy. If your environment actively diminishes your confidence, you need to find a new table or build one yourself. Listen to the culture. Do not just focus on the partners. Engage with coworkers at all levels and listen more than you speak. This is the only real way to gauge the actual health of a workplace culture. Vulnerability is not a weakness. Sharing your personal experiences and struggles helps the next generation feel supported. Unofficial mentorship and honest feedback are the best cures for imposter syndrome.

## The Immigrant Advantage, AI Implementation, and Billing Models with Majo Castro

Published: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 04:00:16 GMT
Duration: 00:24:49
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/the-immigrant-advantage-ai-implementation-and-billing-models-with-majo-castro.md

This week on the podcast, I sat down with Majo Castro. Majo is the founding attorney of Castro & Legal in Austin, Texas. After leaving Venezuela in 2015 with a law degree that she could not use in the United States, she started completely over. She took a paralegal course, worked as a bartender, eventually earned an LLM, and opened her own boutique firm specializing in cybersecurity, AI governance, and technology law. We got into how she uses artificial intelligence to compete with big law, the biggest mistakes tech founders make when rushing to market, and why she believes the billable hour is dying. What you will learn The AI edge for boutique firms. Majo uses AI to automatically generate client proposals five minutes after a consultation ends. Learn how she reclaimed 13 hours a month by automating her administrative workflows. Where AI fails in law. She shares a hilarious (and painful) story about implementing an AI phone system that aggressively argued with a potential client. Discover why high-stakes negotiations and first impressions still require a human touch. The death of the billable hour. Tech-enabled lawyers work faster. Majo explains why clinging to the billable hour actually punishes efficient lawyers, and why flat-fee structures are the only logical future for modern practice. Why this matters A lot of lawyers treat cybersecurity and AI as IT issues. Majo proves that they are now fundamental legal competencies. If you refuse to use modern tools, you are doing a disservice to your clients by charging them more money for a slower product. Foreign-trained and junior lawyers often doubt their ability to compete in this market. Majo’s story shows that because fields like AI governance are so new, the playing field is entirely level. Three takeaways AI is your leverage, not your replacement. Use AI to draft proposals, organize research, and create marketing content, but never let it make legal judgments or handle sensitive human relationships. Stop rushing to market. Tech founders constantly launch products without protecting their IP or clarifying their data rights. As a technology lawyer, your job is to slow them down just enough to keep them out of trouble. Use your background as an asset. Whether you were a bartender, a small business owner, or an immigrant learning a new system, those experiences make you a better advisor. Your clients want a lawyer who actually understands how hard it is to build something from scratch.

## Humanizing the Code, Building Client Trust, and Cross-Border Estates with Amanda Doucette

Published: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 03:39:25 GMT
Duration: 00:27:31
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/humanizing-the-code-building-client-trust-and-cross-border-estates-with-amanda-d.md

There is a persistent myth in law school that you must be a math genius to practice tax law. It keeps a lot of great advocates away from a field that desperately needs them. Legal careers are shaped less by credentials and more by communication, and almost no one teaches that early enough. I try to make that invisible part of the profession visible. This week on the podcast, I sat down with Amanda Doucette. Amanda is a Canadian tax, trust, and estate lawyer and the host of The Tax Chick podcast. She started her career in civil litigation and family law, completely convinced she was terrible at math. When a senior partner pulled her onto a tax litigation file, she discovered that tax practice is not about crunching numbers on a spreadsheet. It is fundamentally about advocacy, education, and human relationships. We talked about how she eventually transitioned into cross-border estate planning and why making the law accessible is the best business development strategy you can have. What you will learn Humanizing the tax code. Clients do not want to hear you recite subsections of the Income Tax Act. Learn how to use visual aids, analogies, and plain language to turn reactive, panicked clients into proactive business partners. The cross-border trap. A Canadian Power of Attorney is effectively useless for a snowbird dealing with a medical emergency in Arizona. Discover why you have to treat every country, and sometimes every state or province, as a completely separate legal reality when planning an estate. The accidental audience. Amanda started her podcast during the 2020 lockdowns to help confused business owners. Learn how she inadvertently built a massive audience of non-tax professional advisors who now use her show to spot problems for their own clients. Why this matters Junior lawyers often box themselves in based on what they think they are bad at. Amanda's story proves that practice areas are rarely what they seem from the outside. As artificial intelligence continues to automate baseline legal work, clients are actively searching for advisors they actually like and trust. You do not differentiate yourself just by knowing the rules. You stand out by translating those rules into plain English so your clients can sleep at night. Three takeaways Say yes to the scary assignments. Amanda only discovered her passion for tax because she did not turn down an intimidating trial file. The biggest leap in your career might come from a practice area you actively avoided in law school. Assume your documents do not travel. Never assume a domestic legal document works across a border. From mismatched tax treaties to completely different legal definitions of the word "spouse," international planning requires highly localized advice. Be a translator, not a dictionary. Stop trying to prove how smart you are by using dense legal jargon. Your actual job is to digest complex financial and legal risks into three clear options so your client can make an informed decision.

## The Global Classroom, Comparative Equality, and Leaving Your Jurisdiction with David Oppenheimer, Panos Kapotas, and Laura Carlson

Published: Fri, 04 Sep 2026 08:56:00 GMT
Duration: 00:25:33
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/the-global-classroom-comparative-equality-and-leaving-your-jurisdiction-with-dav.md

Legal careers are shaped less by credentials and more by communication, and no one teaches that early enough. I make that invisible part of the profession visible. What mistake do junior lawyers make because no one explained this? They assume the law looks exactly the same everywhere. When you only study your local legal system, you start to believe your jurisdiction's way of solving a problem is the only way. This week on Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with three law professors from three different countries. David B. Oppenheimer from Berkeley Law, Panos Kapotas from the University of Portsmouth, and Laura Carlson from Stockholm University. During the pandemic, they teamed up to build a global course in comparative equality law. It brings students and professors from six continents into a single virtual classroom. They generously shared what happens when you completely remove geographic borders from legal education. What you will learn The culture shock of comparative law. Laura explains how Swedish civil law students are trained to prioritize legal certainty. They were completely shocked by the raw passion North and South American students brought to arguments about justice and fairness. The danger of local assumptions. David highlights how a concept like abortion is framed as an issue of privacy in the US, but as a matter of bodily autonomy and equality in other legal systems. You cannot fully grasp an issue until you see how other cultures frame it. The baseline of equality. Panos shares a grounding moment from the course when a student from South America pointed out that in their village, the primary equality issue is simply getting access to clean water. It is a stark reminder of how privilege shapes our legal priorities. Why this matters It is incredibly easy to get trapped in the specific rules and procedures of your home jurisdiction. This conversation proves that the best way to become a sharper, more creative lawyer is to expose yourself to different ways of thinking. When you understand how other systems tackle the exact same human problems, you build a massive intellectual advantage in how you approach your own practice. Three takeaways Leave your jurisdiction. Whether you do a full LLM or just a short exchange term, you need to study law outside your home country. It fundamentally changes how you view the profession. Look for non hierarchical spaces. The best professional networks do not care about your seniority. Find communities that treat you as an equal simply because you share the same intellectual curiosity. Leverage local associations. You do not have to move across the world to build a global network. Join the international subcommittees of your local bar associations to start connecting with practitioners in other countries today. Guests: David B. Oppenheimer (Berkeley Law), Panos Kapotas (University of Portsmouth), and Laura Carlson (Stockholm University).

## Shippable Futures, Escaping Microsoft Word, and Prototyping Your Career with Baru Obračajová

Published: Tue, 01 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT
Duration: 00:28:44
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/shippable-futures-escaping-microsoft-word-and-prototyping-your-career-with-baru-.md

This week on the podcast, I sat down with Baru Obračajová. She is a Czech lawyer, legal designer, and the mind behind "Attorney at Code." After years of handling cross-border M&A and ESG transactions, she realized the traditional, hyper-specialized legal path was not for her. She took a free Harvard coding class online, and it completely changed how she viewed the practice of law. Today, she teaches a "Modern Lawyers" course at Charles University and helps organizations rethink how legal services are actually delivered. We got into why the legal industry's obsession with Microsoft Word is limiting our imagination, and why lawyers need to start treating their work as an end-to-end product rather than a series of disconnected emails. What you will learn Legal product management. It is time to stop viewing legal work as just replying to an email with a Word document attached. Discover how to design an end-to-end client experience, from onboarding and pricing all the way to final delivery. Escaping the Microsoft Word trap. Word is the lowest common denominator in law. Baru challenges us to explore ideas outside of this standard environment. When you stop designing every legal process around a single document editor, you open up massive opportunities for actual innovation. Shippable futures vs. R&D. Most law firm innovation is vendor-driven and plays it safe with commercially viable "shippable futures." Learn why exploring speculative, outlandish ideas is essential if you want to understand where the industry is actually heading. Why this matters Young lawyers constantly message me worried about getting stuck in a single, narrow practice area forever. Baru's journey proves you do not have to be a hyper-specialized technician to be successful. By layering different skills—like project management, design, and coding—you can build a highly customized, generalist career that actually fits your interests. You have the agency to shape the future of the profession rather than just sitting around waiting to see if artificial intelligence will replace your job. Three takeaways Prototype your career. Do not make massive, high-stakes career pivots overnight. If you are interested in legal design, start by redesigning a single, simple document. Test the waters with low-risk experiments before completely changing your path. Become a self-started learner. You no longer need formal permission or another expensive degree to learn a new skill. Find free resources online, build your own reading lists, and pursue the subjects that genuinely intrigue you, even if they fall outside traditional legal boundaries. Embrace multidisciplinary work. Being a lawyer is just one layer. When you add other disciplines like design or coding, you gain the ability to automate repetitive tasks, communicate complex ideas more effectively, and build completely new systems.

## Sponsorship, Critical Thinking, and Building Your Own Platform with Aneka Jiwaji

Published: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT
Duration: 00:29:36
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/sponsorship-critical-thinking-and-building-your-own-platform-with-aneka-jiwaji.md

This week on Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Aneka Jiwaji. She is a commercial and securities litigator who has been in practice for a decade. After navigating insurance defense, an international firm, and the BC Securities Commission, she recently co-founded JI Law, an all-women boutique firm. We talked about why she decided to start her own practice. It wasn't about lifestyle or working fewer hours. She just wanted to build a place where women could do high-level commercial litigation without dealing with the yelling and inflated egos that the legal industry has somehow normalized. She wanted a space where they could simply focus on doing excellent work. What you will learn Sponsorship beats mentorship. Young lawyers don't just need advice over coffee. They need a sponsor who sees their potential, mentions their name in closed rooms, and gives them substantive pieces of a file to handle. The true barrister approach. Aneka didn't lock herself into a single micro-niche early on. By taking on insurance, regulatory, and defamation work, she built a broad foundation that allows her to look at a client's business problems from multiple angles. The hidden cost of AI. JI Law uses plenty of technology, but Aneka warns against using AI to replace junior associates. If you outsource early legal work to software, young lawyers never learn critical thinking. Why this matters It is easy to feel stuck if you are in a frustrating work environment. Aneka's story is a reminder that you don't have to fix the firm you are in. You can focus on doing good work, building your reputation—what she calls your character—and making genuine connections outside of your immediate office. If you do that consistently, you eventually build enough credibility to leave and create the exact practice you want. Three takeaways Stop treating networking like a transaction. Build real relationships without worrying about how a person can advance your career right now. Those organic connections are what actually sustain a practice over the long term. Get on your feet. Going to court to handle small applications in person builds a type of confidence you simply cannot get sitting at your desk on a video call. Pull someone up with you. If you are senior enough, look around and find a junior lawyer to sponsor. The profession has a strict obligation to teach the next generation how to actually think.

## Presence Over Perfection, The Happy Lawyer, and Writing for Children with Shani M. King and N. Jeremi Duru

Published: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 10:00:00 GMT
Duration: 00:29:30
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/presence-over-perfection-the-happy-lawyer-and-writing-for-children-with-shani-m-.md

In this week's episode of Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Shani M. King and N. Jeremi Duru. Shani and Jeremi are brilliant legal scholars, law professors, and longtime friends who met as undergraduates at Brown University. Having built formidable careers in child advocacy and civil rights litigation, they recently collaborated on a deeply personal children's book published by Fair Share Publishing. They generously shared their insights on navigating heavy legal work, protecting family time, and the true meaning of professional success. Presence Over Perfection: Why your children do not expect you to be flawless. Discover how giving 20 minutes of completely undivided attention is vastly more valuable than an hour of distracted multitasking. The Happy Lawyer Principle: How choosing a practice area that genuinely speaks to your substantive interests makes you not only a better professional but a happier and more emotionally available parent. A Pure Form of Advocacy: How writing for children serves as a direct, refreshing oasis away from the heavy and procedural nature of traditional legal and academic writing. The pressure to bill hours and climb the legal ladder can easily overshadow your personal priorities. Shani and Jeremi prove that you can actively structure your life to prioritize your family without sacrificing your professional impact. You cannot always control a demanding legal workload, but you can control your focus. By being deeply intentional with your available time and actively expressing your emotions, you build a legacy that goes far beyond your legal resume. Make the 20 minutes count. You will have days where your workload is overwhelming. When you finally step away from the desk, put your phone down. Even a brief, fully intentional moment of connection matters more to your children than sheer quantity of time. Find your creative oasis. Traditional legal work, especially in fields like civil rights or litigation, can be emotionally heavy. Find a creative outlet to recharge your energy and gain a fresh perspective. Do not just follow the fad. Do not pick a practice area simply because it is lucrative or currently trendy. Pursue work that you find substantively meaningful so you can be a happier lawyer and a more present human being. Guests: Shani M. King and N. Jeremi Duru, law professors, legal scholars, and co-authors of a newly released children's book on fatherhood.

## The Power of Narrative, Proactive Career Strategy, and the Human Connection with José Bottazzo

Published: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 10:00:00 GMT
Duration: 00:43:11
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/the-power-of-narrative-proactive-career-strategy-and-the-human-connection-with-j.md

In this week's episode of Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with José Bottazzo. After building a highly successful career as a litigation partner in Brazil, José made a bold pivot, moving to Toronto to become a leader in legal recruitment. Now the Director of Client Services at Forge Recruitment, he generously shared his insights on how law firms evaluate senior talent, the distinct differences between private practice and in house roles, and how internationally trained lawyers can perfectly position their skills. The Proactive Career Strategy: Why you must stop waiting for the perfect moment to network. Discover how building authentic connections before you ever need a job keeps you from getting trapped in a "golden cage." The Private Practice vs. In House Divide: How to strategically align your practice based on your end goal. Learn why law firms reward deep, narrow specialization, while in house roles require a broad, generalist approach. The Power of Narrative: Why internationally trained lawyers need to stop over explaining the technical differences of their home jurisdictions and start leading with their proven business generation and people skills. It is incredibly easy to put your head down, bill hours, and assume your hard work will automatically translate into partnership or a dream general counsel role. José proves that you must treat yourself as a business unit. In a legal market increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence and private equity, your technical skills are only the baseline. The professionals who will thrive in the future are the ones who lean into their humanity, building genuine trust and community with their clients and peers. Build a compelling story. Your resume is just a piece of paper. To stand out, you must craft a narrative that connects your past experience directly to the business problems your future employer is trying to solve. Act like a business owner. Do not just wait for a partner to hand you work.

Published: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 10:53:00 GMT
Duration: 00:30:20
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/digital-assets-the-truth-about-trusts-and-writing-your-own-niche-with-demetre-va.md

In this week's episode of Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Demetre Vasilounis. Demetre is a trust and estates lawyer, a Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP), and a recognized leader in family wealth and succession planning. After discovering his love for estates during a mandatory articling rotation, he built a thriving practice advising ultra high net worth families. He generously shared his insights on navigating complex tax laws, the importance of multidisciplinary networking, and how to successfully blend pop culture with legal expertise. What you will learn The Tax Reality: Why understanding tax is absolutely non negotiable for estate planners. Discover why modern trust law is focused on tax deferral and risk analysis rather than finding magical loopholes. Creating Your Niche: How Demetre combined his love for writing, anime, and gaming with legal practice to become a sought after expert in the rapidly evolving area of digital assets. The Power of Rotations: Why remaining open minded during your early career rotations is the best way to find a practice area that truly clicks with your personality and academic interests. Why this matters It is incredibly common to feel like you have to hide your unconventional hobbies to be taken seriously in a corporate legal environment. Demetre proves that integrating your genuine interests into your professional profile actually makes you stand out. By writing publicly about niche topics that intersect with the law, you build a highly visible, authentic reputation that attracts both clients and a supportive community. You do not have to choose between being a rigorous professional and being yourself. Three takeaways Do not hide your interests. Whether it is anime, video games, or technology, writing about how your personal passions intersect with the law is the fastest way to build a memorable brand. Embrace the tax code. You cannot effectively plan an estate without understanding the tax implications of death. Lean into the technical learning and seek out advanced educational programs like the TEP designation. Try everything once. Do not lock yourself into a single practice area too early. Be open to trying fields you never considered, because they might just provide the perfect blend of academic challenge and human connection.

## Unplanned Pivots, The Economics of Law, and Authentic Practice with Bruno Maggi

Published: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 10:00:00 GMT
Duration: 00:35:30
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/unplanned-pivots-the-economics-of-law-and-authentic-practice-with-bruno-maggi.md

In this week's episode of Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Bruno Maggi. Bruno is a partner at BM Advocados and one of Brazil's leading antitrust and competition lawyers. After an accidental assignment thrust him into cartel defense 25 years ago, he built an incredible career shaping Brazilian competition law and pioneering private damages litigation. He generously shared his insights on navigating complex regulatory bodies, the evolution of antitrust enforcement, and the vital importance of professional authenticity. What you will learn The Unplanned Pivot: How leaning into an unexpected, chaotic assignment can unlock a lifelong passion for a highly specialized area of law. Pioneering Private Enforcement: How Bruno helped develop private antitrust damages litigation in Brazil, allowing victims of international cartels to seek civil compensation beyond government fines. The Economics of Law: Why true legal expertise in competition law requires a deep understanding of corporate transactions, mergers, and market economics. Why this matters It is easy for young lawyers to feel immense pressure to pick the perfect specialty on day one. Bruno's story proves that leaning into unexpected opportunities often yields the best results. When you combine rigorous, continuous study with a willingness to tackle the subjects most lawyers avoid (like math and economics), you become an indispensable asset. More importantly, his journey highlights that ultimate success is not driven by choosing the most supposedly lucrative field, but by finding authentic joy in the specific mechanics of your daily work. Three takeaways Embrace the unexpected. If you find yourself abandoned on a new assignment, do not panic. Treat the chaos as an opportunity. As Bruno says, if they give you lemons, make lemonade. Broaden your knowledge base. You cannot practice competition law in a vacuum. To be a truly effective advisor, you must continuously study the interconnected worlds of corporate law, acquisitions, and economics. Be aggressively authentic. Do not pursue a practice area simply because others claim it will make you rich. Choose the work that makes you genuinely happy to wake up every morning, because authenticity is the ultimate driver of long term success. Guest: Bruno Maggi, partner at BM Advocados, professor, and pioneer in Brazilian antitrust and competition law.

## Boardroom Leadership, The Power of Trust, and Navigating Cross Border Careers with Liran Kandin

Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/boardroom-leadership-the-power-of-trust-and-navigating-cross-border-careers-with.md

In this week's episode of Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Liran Kandin. Liran is a dual licensed lawyer in Ontario and New York, an entrepreneur, and the founder of NCA Tutor. Over the past 14 years, he has helped nearly 4,000 internationally trained lawyers successfully navigate the Canadian licensing process. He generously shared his insights on building a flawless reputation, the immense value of non legal roles, and how to successfully adapt when your career goals inevitably change. Building Trust Before Scaling: How giving away high quality study materials for free for five years built the foundational loyalty needed to launch a massively successful education business. The Boardroom Advantage: Why sitting on the board of a publicly traded company proves that a lawyer's greatest asset is not having all the answers, but knowing exactly how to research and solve complex, unprecedented problems. Adapting to Career Seasons: Why your definition of success will naturally shift from chasing a paycheck in your twenties to seeking deep personal fulfillment and legacy later in life. It is incredibly easy to feel a sense of imposter syndrome when the laws are changing rapidly or when you are navigating a completely new jurisdiction as an internationally trained lawyer. Liran’s journey proves that true success is not about having a perfect plan from day one. It is about leaning into your unique background, building trust through reliable work, and remaining open to unexpected opportunities. Whether you are an immigrant lawyer starting over or a recent graduate feeling behind, mastering the fundamentals of problem solving will allow you to confidently step into any room, legal or otherwise. Give value first. Do not rush to monetize every single effort immediately. Build your personal brand on quality and reliability, and the financial success will naturally follow. Seek out board positions. You do not need to be a senior corporate partner to add massive value to an organization. Your legal training gives you a unique insight into structural governance that companies and non profits desperately need. Let your goals evolve. The ambition you have on graduation day will not be the exact same ambition you have ten years later. Give yourself the grace to pursue fulfillment over prestige as your life changes.

## Human Judgment in the Age of AI, Cross-Border Practice, and Writing Publicly with Yash Jangid

Published: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 17:13:47 GMT
Duration: 00:29:05
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/human-judgment-in-the-age-of-ai-cross-border-practice-and-writing-publicly-with-.md

In this week's episode of Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Yash Jangid. Yash is an advocate registered with the Bar Council of India, an LLM graduate from Queen Mary University of London, and a passionate voice for the integration of artificial intelligence in arbitration. Having navigated completely different legal systems, he generously shared his insights on bridging cultural gaps, advocating for representation, and why human judgment will always be the core of legal practice. What you will learn The AI Augmentation Reality: Why artificial intelligence will not replace lawyers. Discover how AI acts as an incredible information processing tool for massive document reviews and translations, drastically lowering costs and increasing access to justice. The Frontier of Human Judgment: Why the entire arbitration system rests on the uniquely human asset of trust. AI can process massive datasets, but it cannot assess the credibility of a witness, weigh commercial reasonableness, or take moral responsibility for a decision. The Power of Public Writing: Why you should start writing and publishing your ideas before you ever feel truly ready, and how doing so builds unexpected global connections and expands your practice. Why this matters As technology rapidly evolves, it is easy to feel intimidated by the fear of automation. Yash provides a deeply empowering perspective: AI takes over the grunt work that historically burned out junior lawyers, allowing you to focus on strategic judgment and human connection. Furthermore, by embracing the agility of different legal systems and choosing to advocate publicly for inclusion, you can actively shape policy and design a deeply fulfilling, borderless career. Modern legal success lies in leveraging technology to process information so you can use your human intelligence to deliver justice. Three takeaways Write before you are ready. The feeling of readiness arrives a full year after your actual capability. Start sharing your ideas publicly now to connect with global practitioners you might never meet otherwise. Protect human judgment. Embrace technology for what it is: a brilliant processor of information. However, never forget that clients and parties appoint human beings, not algorithms, to weigh evidence and be fair. Treat networking as a service. Stop approaching networking as an extraction of value. When you connect with people with genuine curiosity and a desire to learn, you build authentic relationships that naturally serve your career.

## Legal Tech Innovation, Managing AI Risk, and Building Breadth with Josh Lokko

Published: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 10:00:00 GMT
Duration: 00:18:18
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/legal-tech-innovation-managing-ai-risk-and-building-breadth-with-josh-lokko.md

One of the most exciting shifts happening in the legal profession right now is the movement away from exhausting mechanical tasks and toward strategic, fulfilling legal work. Legal careers are shaped less by credentials and more by communication, and almost no one teaches that early enough. I want to make that invisible part of the profession visible today. What mistake do junior lawyers make because no one explained this? They assume they must brute force every project with endless hours and pure willpower. In the technology world, professionals rely on specialized software to manage complex workflows, while lawyers often try to manage multi million dollar deals entirely through their email inboxes. In this week's episode of Studying Law Around the World, I sat down with Josh Lokko. Josh is a former capital markets lawyer who turned his frustration with legal inefficiencies into a thriving business. He taught himself how to build software prototypes and eventually founded Statera, an AI driven verification engine for securities diligence. He generously shared his insights on the future of legal practice, managing technology risks, and how to build a career you actually enjoy. The Junior Associate Analogy: Why the fear of AI hallucinations is manageable. Discover how senior lawyers can oversee artificial intelligence output using the exact same risk management skills they already use to review work from junior associates. The Shift to Strategy: How automating the tedious, compliance heavy parts of corporate law will allow practitioners to focus entirely on high value professional judgment. The Breadth Advantage: Why exploring multiple practice areas early in your career is the ultimate defense against getting trapped in a legal specialty you ultimately despise. The anxiety surrounding the future of law is often rooted in a misunderstanding of how technology will be applied. Josh provides an incredibly positive outlook. By adopting tools that handle the heavy lifting of document consistency and precedent searches, lawyers will be freed to do what they actually went to law school to do: think critically. Because humans cannot sustain deep, strategic thought for 14 hours a day, this technological evolution will likely spell the end of the notorious legal burnout culture. Embracing technology does not replace your job; it simply makes your job better. Guest: Josh Lokko, former capital markets lawyer at Sherman and Sterling, JD/MBA graduate, and founder of Statera.

## Why Changing Jobs Will Not Fix It: The Path to the Happy Lawyer with Paul Karvanis

Duration: 00:24:05
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/why-changing-jobs-will-not-fix-it-the-path-to-the-happy-lawyer-with-paul-karvani.md

On the newest episode of Studying Law Around the World, I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with Paul Karvanis. After a 12 year career navigating Bay Street, the private sector, and a crown agency, Paul transitioned into coaching and literally wrote the book on The Happy Lawyer . He generously shared the invisible mechanics of career satisfaction and proved that building a joyful practice is completely within your control: What mistake do people make because no one explained this? They assume that changing jobs will magically cure their burnout. Paul explains that internal happiness cannot be solved by an external move. Instead, true satisfaction is built through a simple, positive loop: reflect on what you want, take one small intentional step, and use what you learn to inform your next move. What is the unspoken rule here? You must master the "Table Stakes." Many junior lawyers stress over complex networking or perfect boundaries early on. Paul reminds us that the foundation of a happy, flexible career comes down to two simple prerequisites: doing quality work and being completely reliable. Once you build that trust, everything else opens up. What question should a junior lawyer ask but does not know how? How do I know if my ambition is actually healthy? Paul introduces the brilliant concept of "shadow goals" to help you discover if your drive comes from true passion or external pressure. He proves that practicing genuine self compassion is the ultimate key to sustainable, long term success. If you want to stop feeling trapped in the daily grind and learn how to intentionally design a career that brings you true joy, this conversation will leave you incredibly inspired.

## The Mindset Shift, AI Hallucinations, and the Return of the Legal Apprenticeship with Ceschino Brooks de Vita

Published: Sat, 08 Aug 2026 03:34:54 GMT
Duration: 00:28:18
Canonical: https://claudioklaus.com/podcast/episodes/the-mindset-shift-ai-hallucinations-and-the-return-of-the-legal-apprenticeship-w.md

In this week's episode of Studying Law Around the World Podcast , I sat down with Ceschino Brooks_de_Vita . Ceschino is a former Big Law corporate attorney, a Harvard alum, and the founder of the Legal Tech Guide. Having successfully transitioned from practicing law to legal tech marketing and entrepreneurship, he generously shared his insights on how to cut through the AI marketing hype, the importance of genuine legal expertise, and why the legal profession is heading back to its roots. What you will learn The Mindset Shift: The critical difference between practicing law as a pure risk management function and operating in a business role where your goal is to facilitate growth and prioritize acceptable risks. The Apprenticeship Comeback: Why AI will not eliminate the need for junior lawyers. Discover why forward thinking partners are returning to a one-on-one apprenticeship model to actively mentor the next generation of legal talent. Navigating Legal Tech: How to look past vendors promising to "change everything" and evaluate software based on the people behind it, their mission, and the genuine value it brings to your specific practice. Why this matters It is easy to feel overwhelmed by the daily influx of new legal technology and the fear that automation will replace legal jobs. However, Ceschino proves that highly sophisticated tools actually make human expertise more valuable. Artificial intelligence will confidently hallucinate incorrect information, and it takes an experienced lawyer who knows what "right" looks like to catch those errors. By being proactive, deeply understanding your clients' business goals, and shaping your career intentionally, you can leverage these tools to eliminate repetitive work and focus entirely on high value strategy. Three takeaways Prioritize, do not just flag. If you want to succeed in a corporate or non-traditional role, you must stop treating every risk equally. Learn to weigh the magnitude of a risk against the ultimate growth goals of the business. Learn what good looks like. You cannot blindly trust an AI drafted memo or contract. You must build foundational legal experience so you can confidently discern between a polished hallucination and genuinely correct legal work. Be highly intentional. A fulfilling career does not just happen to you. Do not passively accept the way things have always been done. Use the current technological disruption as an opportunity to proactively design the exact practice and life you want.
