Fantastic, albeit depressing 🎧 from ⁦@guardian⁩ and ⁦@MASieghart⁩ on #theauthoritygap & good advice for for #womenatthebar : highlights importance of self-promotion bc humility and self-deprecation more likely to be taken at face value…! https://t.co/ZHQY3lz0bZ

[Leonora Sagan @LeonoraSagan]

Unlikely to see new law on the #BriberyAct’s “failure to prevent” offence any time soon. #DPA dominance unsurprising given settlement sums + credit for cooperation + the now long unchartered waters of fighting the charges in court: https://t.co/iRjhfhtG61

@katy_kmr Thanks Katherine! Glad we got the right result.

@seanjonesqc Love this. Deja vu to the rent negotiations I led as SU Pres at Wadham. We opted for a sit-in protest and finally brought them to the table, but presenting the SU’s case to tens of stony-faced fellows at the SCR was utterly terrifying.
