Clare Endean, director of Dawson Lawyers, give us a peak into the world of a law.
Do you feel that as a woman it was harder to succeed in the law, and has it changed?
That hasn’t really been my personal experience, however I acknowledge that is not the case for all women in our profession.
What challenges are you particularly proud of overcoming during your career?
Becoming a mother to my now four-year-old son while balancing fulltime work and running my law practice has been the biggest challenge I’ve faced.
Anything you wish you’d known when first starting out, and what advice would you give to other women just starting out in the industry?
It’s never too early to start working on your personal brand and building professional relationships.
What do you consider are the key qualities for a leader or business owner?
Empathy, agility, adaptability and knowing your ‘why’.
