Here, an IP lawyer who produced a film that qualified for nomination at the Oscars, discusses her longtime passion for cinema, balancing her filmmaking with working as a sole practitioner, and how storytelling helps with arguments in the law.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Slater Intellectual Property Lawyers principal Anny Slater about how she ended up in IP law, how she came to love film early on in life, the first film that sparked her passion, her film The Ball and its subsequent success, and why she produces short films.

Slater also delves into her filmmaking process and how she manages it against her day job, how and why filmmaking helps her be a better lawyer, the complementary skills and insights from filmmaking to IP law and vice versa, the importance of storytelling in becoming a better practitioner, using the law to tell stories, and the need for creative outlets for practitioners.
