Two exciting updates to share this week!? Exciting times ahead as I prepare to move into my second seat of my training contact at Acuity Law, transitioning from Commercial Litigation to Corporate in two weeks! I have had a fantastic time in Commercial Litigation, headed by Aisha Wardell, learning so much and gaining invaluable experience. A huge thank you to this team for their support and guidance! I am also excited to be joining the Corporate team, headed by Beverley Jones, and look forward to gaining new insights and experience within this area of law. Additionally, this week I was honoured to be asked to be a panelist at the bicentennial The Law Society Wales Office - Cymdeithas y Cyfreithwyr event celebrating 200 years of the Law Society with Dr Bronwen Williams JP MStJ, Gareth Jones, Dan Caunt & Carolyn Kirby, chaired by Jonathon Davies. Many thanks to Richard Atkinson our Law Society President, Mark Evans current Vice President and our next Law Society Presidnet & mick antoniw ?????????????????? for their motivating & inspiring speeches, it was a pleasure to meet you. The panel discussion involved looking towards the future of the profession: AI, technology, Level 7 Solicitors Apprenticeships, the SQE & the need to increase diversity within the profession. It was an incredible opportunity to reflect on my own journey and the barriers I have faced on my journey into the profession & speak to a room full of professionals about diversity, statistics & the room for further development. As I pointed out The Legal Social Mobility Fund are doing incredible work to empower aspiring solicitors from lower socioeconomic backgrounds to help them achieve their dream of a legal career providing financial support for laptops, business attire etc. They have personally supported me on my journey & I cannot recommend them enough! There will be Law Society celebrations of the 200th year in various locations & I recommend attending one closest to you- it was an incredible evening both for discussion & networking. They are free to attend, students and all levels of professionals are welcome. Ladies of Law???? Cardiff and South East Wales JLD #law #networking #traineesolicitor #SQE #cardifflawstudent

?? Happy International Women’s Day! ?? Today, we honour the incredible women in law and beyond—those who break barriers, challenge norms, and pave the way for future generations. At Ladies of Law, we believe in the power of unity, empowerment, and support among women in all walks of life. Let’s take a moment to celebrate the achievements of women throughout history and in our daily lives. From trailblazers in the courtroom to leaders in our communities, every woman contributes to a richer, more equitable world. Together, we can uplift each other, share our stories, and inspire change. Let’s continue to support one another, fostering a network of strength and resilience. Today, there’s celebrate and show gratitude to ALL women and the many hats they wear. Our mothers, daughters, grandmothers, sisters, aunties, cousins, nieces, friends. Here’s to the women who inspire us, the women who empower us, and the women who are making a difference every day. Happy International Women’s Day! ?? #InternationalWomensDay #LadiesOfLaw #Empowerment #WomenInLaw #CelebrateWomen
