Diversity and inclusion adviser
I lead the D&I team on disability and work with our Lawyers with Disabilities Division, supporting disabled people within and wanting to join the profession. I am responsible for our relationship with City firms, ensuring that the D&I aims of the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination are fulfilled. I am also organising our second virtual D&I conference with Leeds Law Society in September. My experience of legal practice and insights at the coalface have proved invaluable when working out how best to further the D&I agenda both in firms and in-house teams.
