"You're never going to have everyone like you."

In this episode of Real Ambition, host Iolanthe Gabrie interviews Lauren Cassimatis, a prominent Australian criminal lawyer (amongst other things!) and Principal of Gallant Law. Lauren shares her journey from family law to criminal law, discussing the challenges she faced as a woman in the profession and her passion for helping vulnerable clients.

She emphasizes the importance of work-life balance for lawyer parents and the strategies she employs to maintain her wellbeing amidst the emotional demands of criminal law.

Lauren also discusses the founding of Connecting Lawyer Mums, a network aimed at supporting lawyer parents, and the innovative events she organizes to address personal and professional challenges faced by women in law. Iolanthe and Lauren unpack her recent sell-out event 'S*xy In the City', which addressed sexual health and overall wellness for individuals who work in the law and similarly high-demand professional categories.
