Episode 5: Leaning into individuality and improving diversity in the law

Can you build a successful career in law without losing sight of who you are?

Patrick McCann, Chief Executive of the City of London Law Society and Co-Founder of City Century, joins Nick Gallagher, CEO of The Solicitors’ Charity, to explore diversity, individuality and the realities of sustaining a career in the legal profession.

Together, they discuss the pressures solicitors can face behind the scenes, the importance of recognising early signs of mental health episodes, and why creating a profession where people feel able to be themselves matters.

They also explore how initiatives such as City Century are widening access to legal careers through apprenticeships and creating new routes into the profession.
