Phase two of the report into the Grenfell Inquiry has been published and in this episode, we are joined by Scarlett Milligan, a barrister at 39 Essex Chambers and was part of the counsel team to the Inquiry.

We’re joined in this episode by Richard Burrows and Nicole Law, as they talk about the past, the present and the future of IRLA’s hugely successful YPG.

Richard has been Chair of YPG since 2022 and is now set to step aside as of the start of September.

He’ll be handing over to Nicole, who has recently been serving as Deputy and is certainly ready to embrace the new chapter along with her fellow committee members.

We’ll hear some reflections of how YPG was at the outset and how it developed, plus plans for late 2024 and beyond.

Today, in the latest of our LCC podcast episodes, we discuss the issue of child abuse claims.

In particular, we’re chatting with guests Louise Bland and Wendy Goulder, of Eversheds Sutherland.

Louise and Wendy provided a valuable contribution in drafting IRLA’s consultation response on reforming the law on limitation in such abuse claims.

You’ll hear the pair talk in detail about what this all means, and how optimistic they are regarding the future of this claims area and the consultation.

Jenny Fair talks about what she’s learned over the years of her career in respect of change management, and how that skillset is proving important now, as IRLA navigates its next phase in succession planning.

For our latest LCC podcast episode, we head to Scotland and chat to Toni Ashby, of Clyde & Co.

She and Gian Luigi Di Franco discuss a recent ruling in regards to another asbestos case.

It’s a really interesting look at the rights of relatives, and a reminder of how many mesothelioma cases are yet to be completely concluded

To mark Bike Week 2024, and to finally check in with a few of our ‘Congress Cycling Team’, we catch up on this IRLA podcast episode with Liam Rooney and Chirag Shah.

The two of them share what they get out of participating in the London to Brighton ride, and what their hopes would be for next year’s effort.

You’ll hear from Chirag where the latest fundraising tally stands, and Liam will tell you why a fish and chips meal, accompanied by Guiness, is the perfect post-cycle meal if you should choose to join in next time.

If you’re keen to get involved, please do drop a line to Chirag. He’s on [email protected]

We’re joined for this episode by Dan King, an IRLA Congress ‘first timer’ this year, and by Ali Robson, who for the first time had a hosting and presentation role in IRLA Congress.

The pair reflect on what benefits come from being part of the event, and why they’d recommend attendance to any young professional in the sector.

Our latest episode sees us chatting to Leslie-Ann Govnilli and to Wynne Lawrence.

Wynne, a legal director at Clyde & Co, is serving as one of our mentors in this year’s Future Leaders programme, so it was a perfect opportunity to delve into what the benefits are for the sector of having active mentoring taking place.
Leslie-Ann discusses why mentorship was a must-have element of the programme, while Wynne talks about the benefits to both mentor and mentee.

How can you possibly expect to carve out your best legacy career, if you’re deprived on sleep, lacking in the right nourishment, and aren’t getting the right exercise or socialisation?

There’s a simple answer to that…you can’t.

Here, we check in with the designer of our IRLA Future Leaders Programme, Emma Mcconachie, who in turn introduces Josh Clamp.

Josh is a trusted performance coach who has already presented to our FLP cohort, and has been sharing his masterful insights into sleep, nutrition, exercise, relationships, human behaviours and accountability.

Listen to Emma and Josh talk a little about the FLP series so far, and please check in for more of our conversations with them and on more topics related to the Future Leader activity.
