What does a healthy legal profession look like — and how do we build one?
In this episode of the Scottish Legal Insights podcast, we’re joined by Amanda Millar, leadership coach, consultant and the first openly LGBTQ+ President of the Law Society of Scotland. Founder and Director of Buchanan Millar Ltd and an accredited specialist in mental health law, Amanda has been a leading voice on wellbeing, inclusion and legal reform throughout her career.
We discuss leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic, the importance of creating safe and supportive workplaces for solicitors, and why wellbeing, diversity and access to justice are essential to a healthy legal system. Amanda also reflects on her experiences breaking barriers within the Scottish legal profession and the changes still needed across the sector.
Listen for expert legal insights and thoughtful discussion on leadership, mental health, diversity and the future of Scottish law.
