Legally Different‪®‬ Lauren Kay

"I realised that as much as I can advise on the law, I can also change it" summarises the essence of this conversation with the wonderful Janvi Patel; an entrepreneur, female founder, producer and an activist for women and children’s rights. These titles (expanded on below) only scratch the surface of Janvi’s accomplishments and pioneering path!

One thing that really stood out to me about Janvi is that when she sees a problem she doesn't just stop there, her problem solving nature and visionary spirit enables her to create and find solutions. Read below for more and tune in.

"Don't be bland...you can't please everyone" -- Join me in this conversation with Vanessa Challess, Founder and Principal and the force behind of Tiger Law and its sister businesses Tiger Bytes and Tiger HR - force being the operative word here as Vanessa has such passionate and motivating energy! Vanessa is not afraid to speak what is on her heart and mind which makes for a very real and open conversation. We dive into a number of topics such a female inequality in law, integrity as a lawyer and what it means to be a real leader.

You will hear about Vanessa's journey to becoming a lawyer which, after quitting school at 15, wasn't a conventional path (which sums up Vanessa in general and her uniquely inspiring ways), her experiences in private practice (including inequalities faced as a woman in law, amongst other things) which very much fuelled Vanessa's desire to create her own business and do law on her own terms.

Vanessa's leadership style, which we dive into and unpack, is aptly captured by the name 'Tiger Law' - what really stood out to me is how passionately protective and caring Vanessa is over her staff; nurturing their talents and gifts, encouraging them to be themselves and having their backs was something that came through to me strongly.
