In the final episode of season two, Ann and Rach talk to an old friend. Kyle Holling was Rach’s boss when she worked at Trowers & Hamlins. Raised in New Zealand, he did the old rite of passage and travelled to Europe, where he’s built an incredibly successful career in private practice. We loved listening to all his insights on the life and role of a senior partner in the firm.

Ben White followed the usual trainee and private practice qualification route but that’s where his journey stopped being traditional and really gets exciting. He’d always had working in ‘media’ in mind. When he moved inhouse he saw a gap in the inhouse lawyer community, developed a media concept for it and founded Crafty Counsel.

We ‘summized’ lots of things from talking to Tom Dunlop, founder of Summize (our fabulous sponsor this season). Discipline and dedication were keys to success in his badminton career. Tom transitioned to law as a backstop(!) and had a lightbulb moment when asked to summarise about 500 contracts, for the second time. Summize was born. His journey is truly intriguing.
