Dana Denis-Smith, founder of Obelisk Legal Support and The First 100 Years, reveals how she turned being a woman and a mother into a competitive advantage.
At the heart of the new flexible workforce are thousands of women who work in the City and then struggle to return to work after starting their families, according to Denis-Smith.
As such, she revealed to Real Business how her experience in the traditional, male-dominated legal world made her more open to change and new ways of working – whereby she created a legal outsourcing service that is “fit for the 21st century” for both the clients and the lawyers the company works with.
