She encouraged female lawyers not to be afraid of taking risks and to take risks earlier. “Set your own table,” she said, “Find the value that you can offer and maximise it. Give it all you’ve got and excel at it so that you set the story.” Angel Young, LexisNexis’s Managing Director, added that “I hope we can all reflect upon the theme #EmbraceEquity and see what each of us can do in promoting equity in the legal sector.”
