Will Tolcher, Global Bar Editor of The Legal 500, speaks to Liz Dux, chambers director of Littleton Chambers. This, the first part of a two-part episode, covers Liz's career before the world of chambers management: private practice as a solicitor, becoming an equity partner at Russell Jones and Walker, which became part of Slater and Gordon, focussing on personal injury work including for survivors of child sexual abuse by prominent figures such as Jimmy Savile. Will and Liz discuss her route to the legal profession, the challenges of team leadership when handling challenging work, and handling litigation in the public eye. This episode includes frank discussion of her role in high-profile child sexual abuse cases.
