What needs to change for disability to become a more open and accepted conversation within the legal profession?
Brett Dixon, incoming President of the Law Society of England and Wales, joins Nick Gallagher, CEO of The Solicitors’ Charity, to explore disability, inclusion, changing careers, technology and wellbeing across the legal profession.
Brett reflects on his journey through law, from personal injury practice and improving access to justice for vulnerable people to consultancy and his hopes for his Law Society presidential year.
Together, they discuss the barriers disabled people can face within the profession, what firms and other employers can do to help remove them, and the opportunities presented by technology and AI. They also explore why greater collaboration across the legal sector matters in supporting solicitors throughout their careers.
