Managing Partner
Urban Legal
Alyce is the Managing Partner at Urban Legal.
I help people navigate complex planning and environmental systems to unlock good development. I work closely with communities, councils, and developers to solve problems, build trust, and move projects forward with clarity and purpose.
What are the first three words you think of when you hear the word ‘diversity’?
Perspective, inclusion, opportunity.
What do you think it will take to develop truly diverse thinking within the legal industry?
We need to value different life experiences as much as technical expertise. That means rethinking recruitment, mentoring diverse talent, and creating spaces where all voices are genuinely heard and considered.
What was your main driver to enter the legal industry?
I was drawn to the idea of using the law and practical strategies to solve real-world problems - and to make complex systems work better for people. It offered the perfect mix of challenge, impact, and the chance to keep learning!
