We have an exciting and ambitious agenda planned for the coming 12 months which will include a particular focus on access to justice, mental health and wellbeing in the profession and equality and access to the legal profession. I am particularly proud to be taking on this role during the 100^th anniversary year of women being able to practise law.”
