Her story

Wendy is a Senior Associate at McInnes Wilson 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 mentor young lawyers on not only their files but on navigating workplace expectations with an aim to passing on life skills. This passing on of knowledge is very important and my driver both in the workplace and in my family life and the community.

‍

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

Everyone
Inclusive
Acceptance

‍

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

The more "diverse" people, whatever form that takes, being employed and working in the legal industry will lead to acceptance and inclusion.

‍

What was your main driver to enter the legal industry?

Like so many people who study law, I wanted to help people and help make a difference to people's outcomes.
