An article Eoin O’Shea and I wrote for the New Law Journal. Some food for thought re Deferred Prosecution Agreements #corporatecrime #financialcrime #dpas #reedsmith #whitecollarcrime DPAs: time to extend the regime? | New Law Journal https://t.co/XQQMYdmOpP

@charliebrief Carole Baskin definitely did it, right?!

This is Finland’s new gov.
From left to right: Minister of Education Li Andersson (32), Minister of Finance Katri Kulmuni (32), Prime Minister Sanna Marin (34) & Minister of Internal Affairs Maria Ohisalo (34). Can we get one of these, please? Good luck & prove them all wrong!

Love this.

It's fair to say the women of @2BedfordRow are rather excited to have received a message from Notorious RBG herself after sending her a Lady Hale inspired spider pin!🕷 @CAgnewQC @QCLouSweet @nataliebird01 @Jessica21818528 @jaccarey57

An update from Eoin O’Shea and I re an important privilege case. Privilege is absolute unless and until it is waived. Privilege survives corporate dissolution #privilege #reedsmith

[Reed Smith Regulatory & Investigations @ReedSmithGRE]

Recent English Court of Appeal decision confirms that documents that are established as privileged will remain privileged indefinitely, summary here: https://t.co/nzrBsMafyO #Courtofappeal #legaladviceprivilege #legalupdate

The picture could not be more different at @reedsmithllp. The firm hosted a global Diversity Summit yesterday and a member of the firm’s Exec Comm took the time to speak to female associates from my dep over lunch re her journey, balancing work and motherhood. Like night & day.

The AWB ⁦@WomenBarristers⁩ are doing a fantastic job. Mandatory training for the judiciary, at the very least, is essential. Being talked down to and belittled in open court by a male Judge just one of many reasons I left the independent Bar... https://t.co/U2jxlpAlh1
