The role of diversity and inclusion in the legal space
Lydia Shadrach-Razzino, a successful lawyer and partner at one of the leading firms in Johannesburg, was awarded the Ince DealMaker of the Year award in 2022, the first woman to receive this recognition. In this podcast, she explains her feelings behind winning the award as well as what it meant for the South African legal market at large.
During this insightful talk I had with Lydia, she shared her story as a woman of colour, describing and outlining some of the obstacles she faced over the years as well as how she was able to overcome these issues during her career.
As more women are entering the legal profession, Lydia also shares her advice for future lawyers looking to forge a successful career in law.
