Robyna May

Robyna May

 Robyna May has degrees in IT and Law. Unusually she has integrated her It and Law 

degrees in many different roles. She has a very good understanding of how law firms 

work and how technology can support them. She has worked as a project manager, 

IT manager, knowledge director, legal firm practice manager, technical consultant 

and software developer. She regularly writes and presents on topics associated with 

the intersection of IT and law.

Joining me to interview Robyna is Susan Bryant who worked with Robyna when they 

were both at Cooper Grace Ward 

Robyna talks about:

 Why women were less likely than men to pursue an IT degree when she 

commenced studies;

 Why she chose to study law rather than journalism;

 Why she chose to pursue a career in IT rather than practising as a lawyer;

 How critical thinking skills acquired during her law degree have provided 

tangible benefits in pursuing a career in IT;

 Work life balance with small children;

 What makes a good employer, lessons from Cooper Grace Ward;

 The difference between working for a large law firm, a boutique firm and 

consulting;

 How to maintain passion when the the completion of a project will result in 

the loss of your employment;

 Moving from working in and around law firms to a company focused on on 

providing technological solutions to all businesses not just legal ones; and

 How a supportive partner can make it easier to take risks in your career
