In this episode of Work This Way by FOUNDRY, recorded at FOUNDRY Poole in Dorset, Carly Jermyn shares her journey from growing up in Poole and working in family businesses to studying in Wales and building a career in law. She discusses the unpredictable nature of entrepreneurship, how her family’s business background influenced her, and the challenges she faced as a legal secretary before discovering her passion for litigation. As a mother, Carly sought to balance her career with family life, leading to the creation of Woodstock, a consultancy platform offering a flexible and supportive work environment for lawyers. She reflects on the importance of having the right team, the challenges of rapid business growth, and her future aspirations for Woodstock, while encouraging other lawyers to be brave and consider non-traditional career paths.
