What does it really mean to be influential? Last year, I was honoured to be named Influential Woman of the Year (Silver) at the National Business Women’s Awards. It was a lovely moment, but also one that made me pause. Because influence isn’t really about titles or how many people know your name. And it’s not just the big decisions in the boardroom either. Often, it’s quieter. It’s the conversation that gives a team member the confidence to back themselves. It’s helping a client see a smarter, simpler way forward, and watching them take that back into their own business. It’s sharing knowledge, encouragement, or clarity that someone else carries forward long after the moment has passed. That’s the thing about influence: you don’t always see the full ripple effect. But when you create it consistently, that’s where the real impact lies. Awards are wonderful. But for me, true influence is the legacy of small, meaningful actions that make others braver, sharper, and more confident every day. What does influence mean to you?

Will AI replace lawyers? Thanks to a contact of mine, I was introduced to the very talented Andrew Levers of Gaea AI who kindly brought me in to do a podcast with the incredible host Graeme Scott about the future of AI in the legal sector. With over 700k +subscribers to their you tube channel alone, this was an amazing opportunity albeit somewhat controversial to discuss where I thought the legal industry will be in 5 years time. With the advent of AI judges, the possibility of creating different roles for lawyers and a potential change in our legal systems, no stone was left unturned.

Shout out to the Law365 team for winning another award🎉 Our team has been quietly building something different. Legal that actually works for the client. Legal that doesn’t slow down the pace of a growing tech company. Legal that’s proactive, commercial, and (dare I say it?) even helpful. Being recognised as “Best for Commercial Law” is a proud moment, not because we aimed for the title, but because we’ve stuck to what we believe matters: clarity, speed, honesty, and relationships that last. Awards are lovely, but what really gets me is when a client says, “That saved us time,” or “We actually understand what this means now.” If you’ve worked with a legal partner who got it, what stood out? Or if you haven’t, what would you want from that kind of relationship?

“How should we be handling AI at work?” It’s the question I’m hearing more and more – and one that’s starting to divide opinion. Some see AI as a tool to boost productivity and decision-making. Others see a risk to privacy, accountability, and even culture. Both are right. AI is transforming the workplace faster than most policies, contracts, or leaders can keep up with. From hiring and monitoring to data use and performance management, businesses are already using AI in ways that raise real legal and ethical questions. That’s why on Monday, 24th November, I’ll be joined by Gina McCadden, Senior Associate Employment Solicitor at Law 365, for a fireside chat. We’ll explore what AI means for employment law, how it’s reshaping the employee relationship, and what steps every business should take now to stay compliant and protected. If you’re leading people or shaping policy, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss. 👇 Link in comments to register.

What keeps you going when things get hard? For me, it’s purpose. When I set up Law 365, it wasn’t just to build another law firm. It was to fix what I saw every day - broken models, outdated ways of working, and clients who felt legal slowed them down rather than helped them grow. It was also about proving something deeper: That women could lead, raise families, and thrive without having to fit into old frameworks. That you could build a business that works with people, not against them. Over the years, that purpose has evolved, but it’s never faded. It shows up in the moments no one sees: the late-night brainstorms, the difficult conversations, the quiet resilience when the easy option would be to stop. Because real purpose isn’t loud. It’s steady. It’s personal. It’s what keeps you standing when everything else feels uncertain. I think sometimes we forget to reconnect with that - the “why” that started it all. So I’m curious… what’s the purpose behind what you do?

“Figuring it out as we go” isn’t a strategy. It’s a risk. Last week, someone commented after a CISO roundtable, sharing that the consensus was clear: We can’t keep treating AI adoption as something we’ll tidy up later. And I couldn’t agree more. Every day, I hear the same story – teams using ChatGPT or Copilot to make decisions, hire, or even appraise performance… without any clarity on who’s accountable when things go wrong. That’s not innovation, that’s exposure. AI is already shaping how we hire, manage, and support our people. But while the technology is racing ahead, the guardrails still aren’t in place. That’s exactly what I’ll be unpacking on Monday with Gina McCadden! Together, we’ll explore how leaders can create safer, smarter workplaces – ones where AI helps people do their best work without crossing ethical or legal lines. Because the real challenge isn’t just keeping up with AI. It’s leading with enough foresight to keep your people safe while you do. 👇 Link in comments to register!!
