Nic holds an EMBA from the Australian Graduate School of Management, a double Bachelor of Arts and Laws from the University of Wollongong and a Master of Laws from the University of New South Wales, she also teaches at the Law Faculty of her alma mater.

Nic co-founded and runs Lext Australia, an Australian legal technology start-up, under which Hearsay thrives. Prior to co-founding Lext, Nic also co-founded the boutique financial services law firm Assured Legal Solutions in Sydney’s CBD.

When Nic isn’t teaching, studying, lawyering and strategising she’s spending time with her young family. She also enjoys eating chocolate, reading, and, you guessed it, listening to podcasts.

David Turner has a gift for teasing out people’s stories, so it’s no wonder he is Hearsay’s host.

When he isn’t interviewing people on Hearsay, David is the co-founder and Head of Operations at Lext Australia, an Australian legal technology start-up (and Hearsay’s parent company). Prior to founding Lext, he practised as a barrister at the NSW Bar, and as a solicitor in law firms large and small.  David is a former President of NSW Young Lawyers and a former Councillor of the Law Society of NSW.  In addition to his LLB, David has completed his MBA at UNSW’s Graduate School of Management.

David spends the little downtime that he has left tinkering on home improvement projects and working on computer programming projects.

Taylor Harding is Hearsay’s guest coordinator, constantly scouring the legalsphere for interesting issues and brilliant guests to light up our episodes. She’s dedicated to making sure every conversation resonates with listeners, turning complex legal matters into engaging tales

Taylor is also studying a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts in Western Civilisation at the University of Wollongong. She has a profound love for philosophy (don’t ask her about Aristotle unless you have nowhere to be) and is always interested in the underlying rational and ethical principles of the law.

When she’s not curating Hearsay content, Taylor (often disastrously) enjoys trying her hand in different sports. The current rotation is soccer, golf, pilates, running, and surfing (wow). When these tire her out, you’ll find her enjoying old sitcoms, embroidering items that probably shouldn’t be embroidered or learning to cook things from scratch.

Jacob Malby works as Hearsay’s business analyst and is the resident tech guy (“have you tried turning it off then on again?”). He is also studying a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Communications and Media at the University of Wollongong.

Jacob has a keen interest in creating audio and video content. He enjoys working with technology, whether it be developing software, programming robots or editing photos and videos. He also loves learning and discussing both the law and its relationship with politics.

Jacob’s hobbies include playing soccer, watching soccer and playing soccer video games (so, a diverse range of interests…). He also loves to listen to comedy podcasts while he’s driving.
