EG Interview: "Own your responsibility for being an ally," says Brie Stevens-Hoare QC

Jess Harrold talks to award-winning barrister Brie Stevens-Hoare QC, co-head of Hardwicke Chambers, about the pandemic's impact on property and landlord and tenant relations, and the current state of diversity and inclusion in real estate, particularly in respect of LGBTQ+.

Stevens-Hoare offers candid advice to would-be allies who are reticent to get involved - "get over yourselves" - and explains how failure to provide welcoming workspaces for LGBTQ+ employees impacts the bottom line by costing businesses talent.
