Her story

Allison is a Joint Managing Director/Principal 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 use my experience and expertise to optimise outcomes for those I work for and with.

‍

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

Unique, difference, growth.

‍

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

There are groups who are under-represented in our industry. Better outcomes will be achieved in law when minority groups are encouraged and supported to strive for positions that enable them to influence decision making, culture and progression of new and different ideas.

‍

What was your main driver to enter the legal industry?

I liked the idea of finding solutions to people's problems.
