This week Sally Penni is Talking Law with Frances Swaine.
Fran became a Partner at Leigh Day in 1996 and Managing Partner in 2011. She was also the founding partner of the Human Rights Department.
Fran is a role model for women both in and outside of the profession. She has been dismantling barriers and overcoming adversity throughout her career. She has done this through ground-breaking casework and has blazed a trail for women looking to take up top positions in the profession as one of the few female managing partners of a Top 100 law firm.
Fran shares with us the highs and lows of her career as well as some inspirational management advice, particularly in relation to managing a business remotely during the pandemic.
This episode of Talking Law is supported by Leigh Day.
Leigh day is a national law firm specialising in the more complex aspects of personal injury and human rights law. They are committed to achieving access to justice for all by providing first-rate legal advice.
