Manchester Law Society Podcasts

We are thrilled to introduce our second podcast from the Manchester Law Society Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Committee. This series aims to shine a spotlight on the various strands of diversity in the legal profession, engaging with panelists with lived experience who can talk about those experiences, providing advice and presenting a realistic picture of where we are and where we would like to be.

In this episode we hear from Naomi O’Rourke, Solicitor at Potter Rees Dolan Solicitors, Leanne Instrall who is a Senior Associate at Brabners and head of their Social Mobility Committee and Ged Carter who is Head of We Love MCR Charity.

Ged and Leanne provide Naomi with their thoughts as well as some practical information and tips, based on their own experiences, which would be helpful for both individuals and law firms when considering how they can help improve social mobility within the legal sector.
