This episode of the Reshaping Legal Services podcast looks at how we can dismantle barriers to a diverse and inclusive profession, which falls under the ‘fairer outcomes’ theme of the strategy. In this episode, we interview Debbie Foster, Professor of Employment Relations and Diversity at Cardiff Business School and Chair of Disabled Solicitors Network (previously the Lawyers with Disabilities Division), Law Society, Jane Burton, who tell us a bit more about their joint research project called ‘Legally Disabled, which produces valuable research on the career experiences of disabled people in the legal profession. Then in the latter part of this episode, we speak with Elizabeth Rimmer, Chief Executive of LawCare, who tells us about LawCare’s work to improve mental health in the legal services sector and where she sees the future of legal services.
