If you think the legal world is all stiff suits and old traditions, think again. My guest today, Bridget Tatham, is shaking things up from the inside. She’s a partner at Browne Jacobson, heads up their Birmingham insurance team, and leads on all things inclusion - but what really stands out is how she’s changing the game for future black lawyers through REACH, the firm’s mentoring programme. Bridget’s story is full of honesty, humour, and heart, and it shows exactly what happens when you use your position to pull others up with you.
