Her story

Jordan is a Lawyer and Product Lead at Maurice Blackburn Lawyers.

Without mentioning your job title, how would you describe what it is you do now (whether at home, work, in the community, etc.)?

I spend my days passionately advocating for individuals who have been injured through no fault of their own, ensuring they receive the support and justice they deserve. Beyond this, I actively engage in user testing for internal tools and systems, where my feedback has driven significant process improvements, enhancing both efficiency and accuracy. I am dedicated to continually developing and evolving best practices within the legal profession, striving to make a meaningful impact every day.

What are the first three words you think of when you hear the word ‘diversity’?

Equity, Representation and Opportunity.

What do you think it will take to develop truly diverse thinking within the legal industry?

To cultivate truly diverse thinking within the legal industry, we must adopt a comprehensive strategy that encompasses transforming educational frameworks, fostering an inclusive workplace culture, and actively promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives. As legal practitioners, we need to commit to lifelong learning and remain vigilant about our unconscious biases. Achieving this goal will require a collaborative effort from individuals across all walks of life, working together to create a more equitable and inclusive environment.

What was your main driver to enter the legal industry?

My main driver to enter the legal industry was my passion for improving access to justice initiatives. I wanted to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to understand and exercise their rights. Additionally, I am committed to educating people in the community about their legal rights and providing them with a trusted advocate by their side, guiding them through challenging times and helping them achieve fair outcomes.
