Fleur Katsmartin - William and Lonsdale - Lives in the Law - Apple Podcasts
This week, we welcome Fleur Katsmartin, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary at The Royal Melbourne Hospital. Throughout her law degree, articles and early legal roles, Fleur never felt like she was in the right place. In her words, it always seemed like she was “too much”. But Fleur found her legal sweet spot working in-house, specifically in purpose-driven organisations. This clarity led her to some very large and very dynamic roles. Fleur had just become General Counsel at Healthdirect Australia, the national virtual public health information service, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. And she now leads a team of lawyers at one of Australia’s largest public hospitals, where she describes herself as a Jane of all trades. It was a delight to welcome Fleur to the show and hear about her Life in the Law.
