Welcome to episode #3 of the A&O Career Insights podcast. This podcast series aims to shine a light on individuals in the firm, to explore how they navigated their careers to become more senior and successful. Our host, Danielle Viner, a training events coordinator in London, will be interviewing a different guest in each episode to help inspire people to shape their own careers,

In this final episode of Voices for Change season one, Justin Farrance is joined by Hilde van der Baan, A&O’s Social Impact Group partner and Sara Bowcutt, Managing Director of Women for Women International UK. 

Hilde and Sara share their thoughts on the importance of engaging with men on global issues impacting women, how everyone has the power to make a change, plus lessons from our impactful partnership with Women for Women International. 

Voices for Change was a project built to create a community of diverse thinkers and doers, and we hope each episode raised awareness of key stories and lessons. As Sara puts it, ‘don’t underestimate the impact your passion can have on other people’. 

La Legge sulla Competitività dei Capitali vuole favorire la raccolta dei capitali sul mercato, sia incentivando la quotazione di nuove società sia semplificando le regole applicabili alle società già quotate. Alessandra Pala, counsel del dipartimento International Capital Markets, e Marco Biallo, senior associate del dipartimento Corporate, parlano dei cambiamenti più rilevanti per le società, dalla corporate governance e lo svolgimento dell’assemblea delle società quotate, al voto plurimo e maggiorato, fino alle misure adottate in tema di piccole e medie imprese.

In this episode, we continue our discussion with Dr. Sandie Okoro OBE, Group General Counsel at Standard Chartered Bank joins Justin Farrance.

Sandie was told at the age of eight that ‘little black girls like you don’t become judges’. 

Having ignored the naysayers and risen to be listed by Powerlist as one of the most influential people of African and African Caribbean heritage in the U.K., Sandie shares her story, meaningful advice to those who feel pressured to conform within their careers, and some of her decisions along the way, including why her ‘Women in Law’ portrait is captioned, ‘this is what a single mother from Balham looks like’.
