"No one should have to hide their disability out of shame".

Thank you to The Times, the International Chamber of Commerce and @legalhackette for the opportunity to discuss disability inclusion in the law and beyond. https://t.co/DzCJCSQtwx

Great Law360 interview with Claudia Salomon. Thank you Claudia for mentioning the work of the ICC Task Force on Disability Inclusion! https://t.co/jOus3Vx6Ah

Dissatisfied with an arbitral award? Don't forget section 57 of the English Arbitration Act (mirrored in many arbitral rules), which allows a party to request the removal of ambiguities and the correction of errors in an award, as…https://t.co/ItuzXNDyDL https://t.co/cvQTOOAO0x

Improving disability inclusion in the law is a strategic imperative. With thanks to The Global Legal Post and @RosieWatterson2, read here what you can do about it: https://t.co/Ub4WRqfdEp

I am proud and astounded in equal measure to have been named UK Lawyer of the Year at the 2022 Legal Business Awards, especially with such a stellar shortlist of leading lawyers. My thanks to my firm, King & Spalding, and my family, and to Legal Business…https://t.co/V1fgLcxx96

@daniel_p_holt @emma_vogelmann Agreed. It’s unpleasant and needlessly divisive.

[Simon Maynard @segmaynard]

I don't think I've won a prize since high school, so I'm delighted to be shortlisted for UK Lawyer of the Year at the 2022 Legal Business Awards.

My thanks to King & Spalding and Legal Business Magazine, and congratulations to the other nominees: Mark B…https://t.co/GR26Jg6szY

@Greg_Callus @RoyalAlbertHall Just finished listening to the BBC R3 recording and that was pretty epic. Must've been very special live.

[Simon Maynard @segmaynard]

@Greg_Callus @RoyalAlbertHall Oh my, you are in for a treat!

[Simon Maynard @segmaynard]

@daniel_p_holt Yup, what he said.

I’ve had an #ostomy since 2020 following surgery for #bowelcancer. You can read my story here: https://t.co/6HXltRU3EL

[Simon Maynard @segmaynard]

Hi #disabilitytwitter, is there an #ostomy or #ostomate twitter out there?

“Cancer won’t define me or my career” said Kennedy. Hell. Yea.

[Simon Maynard @segmaynard]

Well this is quite something. I worked full-time through 12 rounds of chemotherapy. I did not compete (successfully!) in elite sport.

Our #disabilitypride continues beyond July. You can watch our #disabledlawyerandproud videos on our website at https://t.co/lFwc0Vtfzp. @emma_vogelmann's episode we talked about her policy work and role with @scope.

[Simon Maynard @segmaynard]

Where are the role models? Only 3% of partners are disabled. I agree with @ChrisE_CSR that promoting disabled role models to senior roles is “hugely important in inspiring the next generation”. So @GSK are right: we need to stay “constructively discontent”.

[Simon Maynard @segmaynard]

Great to see this @LegalWeek article on representation of disabled people in the legal profession. That firms are collecting this data and journalists are writing about it is, in itself, progress. But…

[Simon Maynard @segmaynard]

When 20% of the working age population is disabled, an average of 6.15% disabled trainees is still way too low. @daniel_p_holt is right that “removing barriers to retention and promotion of disabled lawyers must be a priority”. And…
