Episode 08: Sarah Jackson – Is the Law a good career to juggle with parenting?


TALK TO MY LAWYER EPISODE 8: Sarah Jackson

This week, I am excited to invite Sarah Jackson, Commercial Litigation and Insolvency Partner at IBB Law, into the studio to discuss whether the Law is a good career to juggle with parenting.

Our conversation also leads to some fascinating discussions of:

·        What does insolvency actually mean / involve?;

·        The challenges of building a career and starting a family;

·        Covid’s impact on working culture in law, particularly as a parent;

·        The issues with the unconscious bias of AI from who has programmed it;

·        The importance of getting good life experience working in different industries, particularly customer facing, on building the resilience you need as a lawyer.

Stay tuned for a hilarious story about a time that Sarah took a tumble down some stairs to fall at the feet of the Senior Partner at her firm, belongings strewn across the stairs.
