The pledges that started it.
Living Law Better begins with the people building it. Here are the pledges our founding members have made, each one a small, public commitment to leave the profession a little better than they found it. Make yours, and add it to the movement.
Founders' pledges
I pledge to leave every team, workplace and person a little better than I found them, and to help others realise they have the power to do the same.
I pledge to challenge stereotypes and outdated assumptions by asking difficult questions, opening up uncomfortable discussions, and supporting those who do likewise.
I pledge to keep supporting clients as they move forward in their careers, and to work with law firms that want to serve clients well while enabling their people to thrive.
I pledge to keep asking, "Is there a better way to do this?", to bring others with me, and to leave the profession a little better than I found it.
I pledge to use whatever platform I have to celebrate the people leading law better, and to call out the behaviour that holds the profession back, even when it belongs to the biggest names in the room.
I pledge to challenge outdated thinking, support those around me and always lead with empathy.
I pledge to be a leader that fully listens to and appreciates others, knowing that growth and resilience are not built through distress, but with support.

Here's to my brilliant colleague, Arwen Williamson.
I pledge to notice when someone's struggling, and to ask the question rather than hope someone else does.
